On a long stay in Phu Quoc, the laundry plan is simple: pack for 4–5 days, then send a bag out every 4–5 days. At NightGo, wash, dry and fold is 45,000₫ per kg and ready in 3–4 hours, so laundry day costs you a morning, not a day.
Whether you're working remotely for a month, escaping winter for a few weeks, or a family on a long break, here's how to keep your clothes fresh without hauling half your wardrobe.
Why the sink-and-balcony method stops working
Washing a T-shirt in the sink is easy. Drying it is the hard part. October is still rainy season, humidity often sits around 85–90%, and clothes on a balcony can take a day or more, sometimes going musty before they're dry. The air-con helps a bit, but towels and jeans stay stubbornly damp.
Hotel laundry is the other option. Some hotels charge per item, around 80,000₫ a piece at some places (a rough reference). Over a few weeks, that adds up, so check the list in your room first.
How often to wash
For a 10–14 night trip, 2–3 loads usually covers it:
- the first around day 4 or 5, when the clean pile runs out
- the second midway through week two
- an optional third the day before you fly, so everything goes home clean
Staying a month or more? Just keep the same rhythm: a bag every 4–5 days. Don't let beach towels, swimwear and boat-trip clothes sit around. Salt plus humidity makes them smell fast.
What it costs: a worked example
An illustration, not a quote. Two adults, three loads of about 4 kg each:
- washing: 12 kg × 45,000₫ = 540,000₫ (about US$21)
- pickup and delivery: 3 × from 50,000₫ = from 150,000₫ (about US$6)
- total from about 690,000₫, roughly US$27 for the whole trip
Walk your bag in yourself and you only pay for the weight. The real total depends on what your bag weighs at the shop before washing.
Renting a villa or apartment out of town
Plenty of long-stayers go quieter, up around Bai Dai or down near An Thoi. Pickup and delivery reaches you there too: from 50,000₫ per order, both ways, at the time you book between 8am and 10pm. The exact fee depends on where you're staying, and we tell you before we come.
- Keep one bag just for dirty laundry, so it's ready when the driver turns up.
- Want whites and colours apart, or kids' clothes on their own? Write it in the notes. We follow what you write. Each extra machine for splitting your clothes is 60,000₫; we message you the price first and only go ahead once you agree.
- Leave out anything "dry clean only", wool or silk. We do water wash and tumble dry, not dry cleaning.
