when in CA, I was tole no one would wash my underwear, so for me no big deal, however, Invariably every person I hired to keep house and wash clothes and iron them also washed my under ware. So, it may be the culture but obviously it seems to be up to the woman doing the work as well. I guess, she just never told her husband she was washing my underwear.

My guy sniffs my underwear ... as well as his own. We do everything together :cheers:
Seriously though, how many times have we taken our dirty clothes to laundry? 100 times or so I'd guess . . . and on each occasion some Thai lady handles and counts out the socks and underwear in the same way as if they're silk shirts.
Cheers ....
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
Not only would a Thai wife give her husband a good tongue lashing for such a suggestion but I'm sure the desired effect was a achieved by the story-teller.
ie: farang picks up the bill !
file this one urban myths.
I'm only a light drinker. When it's daylight I drink.

No doubt Thai families which are such sticklers for protocol have very secluded gardens or balconies. I can't believe they would wash (or dry) their dirty linen in public.Originally Posted by piston10

My Ex BF or his brother have to do the washing & some cooking/cleaning when they are back at home in sisaket ( usually they are at uni in Bkk) .
dad never lifted a finger, and mom & dad both frowned/complained to the BF when i helped with cooking or anything else.
I thought i gained face and they thought they lost it lol
