One thing I've not seen mention to any extent is laundry. We all need to wash our clothes but aside from going to a commercial cleaners - which can be expensive - I'm curious what long term expats do for washing. I would expect most, it they own a home, might have a washer & dryer rather than have it done professionally which, over time, would be a major expense. In my many trips to Thailand I have usually found a small mom & pop cleaner rather than using the hotel but even they are fairly expensive when you consider having ALL of your cleaning / laundry done. I'm doubting that many apartments are going to have washers & dryers in the apartments but one can hope! Thanks in advance for any comments.
