Sea-Hawks Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 So, every time I need to buy laundry soap, I never quite know what the heck I am buying. Trying to ask a Thai sales person at the store seems almost pointless. For those of you living currently in Thailand, could you share with pictures what brand you buy and what it is for: ie whites ? Colored ? etc... ...also do you use a separate softener to keep the clothes from turning into cardboard after it is dry Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I use red "breeze" which is easy to identify as the Thai looks like "USA".. I use whatever softener is on special offer and use it Thai style by adding it on the final rinse rather than put it in the designated compartment (if it has one!) Everything goes in together once a week....skiddies and stinky socks included... Bedding is done separately - maybe as often as twice a year.

thegrogmonster Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Not sure what we use but there is always a bucket of laundry powder next to the washing machine. I don't ever recall buying any so the missus must take care of that. I wash the clothes and one of the neighbours does the ironing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brings up another discussion point.... Who irons their clothes (or gets it ironed for them) ? Since retiring I haven't used an iron! I don't wear trouser/jeans anymore and everything is hung up immediately after the final spin. Any remaining creases in my "posh" shorts just fall out after a few minutes of wearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get laundry service, I still take it outta the bag and and iron out the creases. Back when I stayed at Secrets or W14, I would take my laundry around the corner and hang them on my own hangers, so not yo have creases. In my previous condos, I would set a timer and iron when half dry. I remember this really hot girl I wanted to smash text me that she was in Pattaya and had a little bit of time to meet at a short time room and I told her I was busy doing my laundry drying that was set on timer, lol. btw, anybody in Thailand use a product to keep clothes from stiffening up??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup... I use a yellow "Buddha Bucket" that I empty my powder into. It has a good seal and is easy to clip open ..........Gotta keep your powder dry !!

You wanna see the fight's one of my mate's used to have with his missus, she was wild. One night we were in the old OK Corral bar when it was down Soi Skaw Beach year's back. She stoved his head in with a high heel shoe during a row. Claret everywhere. We would refer to the night as the shoe fight at the OK Corral.🤣 Edited March 16, 2022 by galenkia 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that they usually hung the clothes on a line to dry and as such there wasn't really a need to pay the extra for the ironing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there even a guy some years back that got seriously injured with one of those (maybe even killed). Got one jammed into his forking head if I remember correctly. Somewhere on Soi Bucky I think.
