Living in Bangkok is an incredible experience, but the tropical climate means you go through a lot of clothes, and many condos, especially in the city center, don’t come equipped with washing machines. Lugging your laundry to a coin-operated machine can be a weekly chore that eats into your precious downtime. Thankfully, the city offers a fantastic array of Bangkok laundry services to solve this problem.

From high-tech, 24/7 laundromats and convenient pickup-and-delivery apps to premium dry cleaners that can care for your most delicate garments, there is a solution for every need and budget. We’ve sorted through the options to bring you the definitive guide to the 22 best laundry services in the city. It’s time to reclaim your weekends and say goodbye to laundry day for good.

Why Trust This Guide?

Like many people living in a Bangkok condo, I don’t have my own washing machine. For years, I have relied on every type of laundry service this city has to offer. I’ve used the local “wash and fold” shop on my soi, spent Sunday mornings at 24-hour laundromats, and have definitely used a delivery app when I was too busy to leave my apartment. I’ve learned firsthand which services are the most reliable, which apps are the easiest to use, and which dry cleaners I trust with my best clothes. This guide is built on that practical, real-world experience.

How much does laundry cost in Bangkok?

At a self-service laundromat, a wash cycle costs 40-60 THB and a dry cycle costs 40-50 THB. A local wash-and-fold shop typically charges by the kilogram, around 50-80 THB/kg. On-demand delivery apps are slightly more expensive, around 80-100 THB/kg.
