Tailors and suits in Bangkok

Helpful links for Visiting Thailand

You'll see lots of advice on the net about the best tailors in Bangkok.

First, while you're there, you definitely SHOULD get a suit or shirts made. Man or woman, you'll find excellent quality fabrics, fashionable cuts and high quality tailoring.

DON'T get taken by crappy tailors though - there are lots of shady tailors that do substandard work that you could get back home for the same price.

From the major sites like FlyerTalk and others, there are a few recommended choices for good quality work.

Enlever ses vetements is run by a Thai-American named Louis. He does EXCELLENT quality work and is quite fashionable in his cuts. While his prices are a bit high ($500 for a high quality suit w/ shirt) you'll find no more stylish tailor in BKK.

Tramps in OP Place behind The Oriental is known for high quality materials.

Crown Tailor in Sukhumvit Road Soi 8 is also known for very high quality.

Georges on Soi 13 off Sukhumit has good feedback for durable shirts.

Some lesser choices:

Mr Bobby at Raja's is known for just average work. He caters to foreign tourists.

ANY of the tailors the tuk-tuk drivers take you to are probably poor quality. They give kickbacks to the tuktuk drivers, so naturally the drivers could care less about quality.

Tried out Crown's, have to agree, some excellent quality clothes available there.

I found tailors everywhere! This was something I had been recommended to do -- take my favourite outfit and have it copied in different fabrics and colours. And let me tell you, there are wall to wall fabrics to choose from! and choose colours/fabrics/designs and get measured, the next day to try the clothes on and make any alterations,
I chose a design from a magazine and had a suit and a Thai silk dress made in Savile Row Tailor.It came to about 150 GBP, but considering it was Thai silk and tailor made, I still thought this was reasonable! When my mum and dad went, my dad had a pair of his favourite trousers copied in different colours and this was a lot cheaper than having something designed from scratch.Bear in mind when being measured, you swell in the heat!
Highly recommended

Bangkok is full of tailors. Need a tailor who you can trust and dont ruin your holiday.
Has been visiting bangkok for 10 years and have always been using the service of Excelsior in Suriwongse next to Patpong. The suits bought 10 years back all are still in great shape.
Should check them up at Excelsuits.com
Cheers
