Laundry: drop-off, self-service, hotel
The prices read come from expat guides, some with affiliate links, and differ by source: ask the price before you drop off. Shops in residential areas are often the cheapest; pick-up costs more; self-service is paid per machine. On a long stay, a flat with a washing machine simplifies everything: see apartments for long stays in Phuket. On departure day, do not leave your clothes at the dry cleaner's: if you must vacate the room too early, see luggage storage in Phuket.
Shipping a parcel or purchases
An unofficial site says Thailand Post offers an international parcel and an EMS service, with about 3 to 5 working days to France, Germany or the UK. The exact rate depends on weight and destination: use the official calculator or ask at the counter. A customs form is needed. We could not check today the export rules for Buddha images, antiques, coral and shells: ask the seller for a receipt and ask the post office before sending. For shopping ideas, see souvenirs from Thailand and Phuket's shopping malls.
Printing
We found no reliable list of addresses or prices for printing in Phuket. The simplest route: ask your hotel's business centre or print in a shopping mall. For a ticket or document, keep an offline copy on your phone.
