Bill29,

A washing machine sounds like a good investment. It doesn't take long to chew through $180 on laundry let alone the logistics of dropping off and picking your laundry up. One pair of Levi's is about a kilo. I imagine most shirts are cotton so they wash pretty well and dry with minimal ironing - or a W2B if you're luck!

They may not have them yet in Thailand but there are now waterless washing machines that work on just air. A bit more expensive than traditional but you can bet they will be coming down in price and become more available to the public. Using air they may not require ironing [or a dryer].
