Thai-style Car Wash

I love getting my car washed in Thailand. There are always so many people working on my car and it’s 100% hand wash. There’s an entire range of wash and cleaning services to choose from. You can even get your engine or undercarriage washed and upholstery shampooed. Most car washing services are located at gas stations and lots of times there are minimarts or little coffee shops where you can grab a drink or a snack while you wait for your car to be washed.

The best thing of all is the price. For 80 baht, roughly $2.50, I can get a basic wash and interior vacuum. For 300 baht, roughly $10, I can get a wash, interior vacuum and exterior buff. For a bit of extra nice treatment, I can get a wash, interior vacuum, exterior buff and wax for 600 baht, or $20. I was accustomed to paying $10 before tip for the most basic car wash in the United States, so the car wash prices in Thailand are very reasonable.

Anyone driving a motorcycle can also use the car wash services to get their ride washed and detailed.
