(Steff @ Apr. 10 2010,04:58) If you're truly offended I will wash you underwear when next we meet, but just the once.

will you fold them and spray them with that funny smelling laundry perfume that they all use?

[pacman]

I think you refer to the cheap fabric softener that the Thais insist on overusng on all our laundry.

I hate the slippery feel & the nauseating smell it leaves but most of all, I hate the fact that something in fabric softener is one of the most carcinogenic substances known to man.

Can anyone advise us of a laundry where they don't use it? I would love an alternative to what they offer now.

If it is sth they spray on after washing and ironing, it should not be a problem to ask them not to do it as it would actually save them a few cents.

I compare it to the over-usage of MSG back in China when eating at restaurants. But usually it was no problem to get them to refrain from adding it as it meant saving on ingredients.

Being a Cheap Charlie, I mostly do my own laundry, so I can't relate to the smell ;-(

[pacman]

They add it to the rinse cycle or worse, soak the clothes in it after washing. With typical Thai logic, the more they use, the more they think the customer will like it & therefore return.

Some trips it has been absolutely overpowering. And you just know they would use the cheapest, most chemically laden product available.

And Chinaman, how can you be a Sexy Man if you're a Cheap Charlie?    

But you are correct when you posted that giving a laundry slip to a farang male calling him a Sexy Man would be a wonderful device to extract a tip.

It's these little things that can make a difference to the quality of life of a laundry shop employee. She wouldn't be paid too much as it is.

I wonder whether she wrote that name before or after she washed the undies :

You are such a contrary bastard Pacers You object to the sweet aroma of freshly laundered clothes but in contrast to the majority of the forum,you continue to champion the Pattaya cockroache headquarters otherwise known as the Penthouse Hotel

(Rocket J. Squirrel @ Apr. 09 2010,13:31) Funny how Steff, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you?

Steff: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Rocky: What do you mean I'm funny?
Steff: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.
[laughs]
Rocky: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Steff: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Rocky: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Rocky: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Steff: Jus...
Rocky: What?
Steff: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Rocky: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Steff: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Rocky: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
Steff: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy!
Rocky: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.

The lovely smell of laundry freshener is something that is anchored in my mind reminding me of Thailand. I brought laundered clothes back to the States, forgotten about them and months later when wearing them I think of Pattaya.

(pentire @ Apr. 10 2010,13:45) You are such a contrary bastard Pacers  You object to the sweet aroma of freshly laundered clothes but in contrast to the majority of the forum,you continue to champion the Pattaya cockroache headquarters otherwise known as the Penthouse Hotel  

You're giving me a free shot to plug the Penthouse...      

Mate, I owe you one...          

Let me see, invisible cockroaches (they must be, I never saw any when I stayed there) never gave anyone cancer as far as I know.

On the other hand, here's a list of some of the chemicals found in fabric softener

     Benzyl acetate: Linked to pancreatic cancer

     Benzyl Alcohol: Upper respiratory tract irritant

     Ethanol: On the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Hazardous Waste list and can cause central nervous system disorders

     Limonene: Known carcinogen

     A-Terpineol: Can cause respiratory problems, including fatal edema, and central nervous system damage

     Ethyl Acetate: A narcotic on the EPA's Hazardous Waste list

     Camphor: Causes central nervous system disorders

     Chloroform: Neurotoxic, anesthetic and carcinogenic

     Linalool: A narcotic that causes central nervous system disorders

     Pentane: A chemical known to be harmful if inhaled

So breathe in that sweet smell fellas, you never know when it will be your last...      

And I haven't even mentioned all the good things about the Penthouse, especially the fact it is the most LB friendly place in all LOS.

I am sure Ishywishywashy will be along shortly to fill in the gaps...        

BTW, that last chemical on the list, Pentane, is that something you catch from sitting too close to Pentire? It sounds nasty, I hope they have a cure for it...        

[Guest]

Crikey Ah......that explains it, Pacers lives in an Oxygen tent and by taking it to Pattaya it masks the problems which many of us have noticed at the Penthouse.

Back to fabric conditioner, do you insist the PH don't use it on your bed linen to marsk the smell of previous events

Is this list from farang fabric softner or Thai fabric softener?

I was originally referring to an aerosol product that is sprayed on the clothes often after they have been dried, folded and placed in the bag. Much safer, I am sure

[SamplerDoc]

Very funny thread indeed, great belly laughs.........

Now on a serious note, Rocket, may I have my laundry back

(Lefty @ Apr. 09 2010,13:24) Nice to be called sexy man, but not at those prices for laundry.

Yeah... he was ripped off!
