How to do laundry in Thailand

Step One: 

After wearing an article of clothing, throw it into a pile of dirty clothes on the floor. Once you have no more clean clothes and an odd odor fills your room that makes your friends refuse to enter your room, you are ready to do laundry.

Step Two:

Prepare to take one load of laundry downstairs. You have around four loads to do, so take it easy and sing yourself one of your favorite tunes in the elevator as you head down to the laundry room.

Step Three:

Once you have arrived at the laundry room, turn the power on for the laundry machine. Stare at the screen intensely to will the red zeros to fully charge and light up. The more you stare and swear at the circles to light up, the slower it goes. Although it seems pointless, this is a necessary step to doing laundry and must not be ignored.

Step Four:

Once the zero's light up, you can now put your two 10 baht coins into the machine and push the start button. There are several other buttons on the machine to control the water levels , but these are just for decoration. 

Throw some soap in and wait for the water to foam before dumping in your first load of laundry. You are now free to get lunch or go back to your and room and watch your fish swim around in their new tank.

Step Five:

After 35 minutes, your laundry is done. Once you got back downstairs and have pulled everything out, don't forget to flip a switch and cut the power to the washing machine. 

Now walk up six flights of stairs carrying your laundry because this is your only form of exercise. Once you reach the sixth floor, open the door to the roof where you then attempt to hang up your recently cleaned sheets. Although hanging sheets seems easy enough, keep in mind that you are unable to see from the blinding sun and their are random gusts of wind that try to steal your sheets and fling them over the edge. 

Drop your clean sheets on the pigeon poop covered cement floor multiple times before instantly picking it up, and cursing the world. 

Twenty minutes later pick up your now dry sheets.

Repeat Steps one through five until you have only have a small pile of laundry left in order to always have at least some pile of rotting clothes in your room to maintain the feng shui of the room.
