Are clothes dryers common? Should we bring washer & dryer

Moving soon from SE Asia where we wash in cold water and hang outside to dry.....LOL

Hoping for a change but need to know if it is common in a furnished or semi furnished villa to have a fridg and washer & dryer included? The pictures make it look as though there is only a washer and it is in the kitchen!

Any info on this would help....

Like hot water at the kitchen sink, and available for the washer....and best of all....western type clothes dryers available! (with somewhere to put it besides in the kitchen!) lol....any thoughts on this? thanks!

Thanks Kathy & Bacteria...the information is a great help. Although MMYKE is quite the card eh? LOL

It's great to know that we can buy larger sized appliances and hook them up to hot and cold water there. I'll leave my washer from Thailand here in Laos, and buy new ones there. Thanks again! :)

Actually, you spread your wet clothes over the horns of Camel, who run free here, and within a short while they are dry and you offer the camel some sweets and it returns to you,,,and you just pluck them off...easy.

everything is avialable here ! yes even washer and dryer...so you can opt to go conventional way as you are doing now, or buy a proper dryer :)
