If you need a good thai tailor I can recommend Peach Thai tailor, I made a page for him at www.phuket-info.com/peach/

This is run by Thais, not pushy Indians.

Hi,
My friend Jaroon and his family is the ones Nicke talks about (Peach)
I include a picture of them
He takes about 10.000 for a complete suit.
Expensive? I dont know for sure.
Then we are talking about the best Italian quality material.
He made many suits for me, my brothers and colleagues of mine.
Very good work.
A really great guy also.
His assistant Mr Kusit is the one who takes me around on his mc to different bars. Also he helps me with thai negotiations wt the girls.

Looks like a nice place.

I've had some suits made before in HKong and Phuket. Depends on the cloth for price but around 7000 Bhat for a decent suit is average.

They can be pretty good, but if the fitting is not done well (first time) then it can get a bit difficult as often the shop has a tailor come to fit you and they pay a price for his services.

So, if the tailor has to make a few visits because the fitting is not quite right it can get a bit difficult. Only happened once, where I've had to politely state that if it doesn't fit (this is after 3 fittings) then either we get it sorted or start again.

Because you can be looking in the mirror at what is clearly not right and be told endlessly that it's fine and when they finish the work it will all magically be fixed - believe me it won't. Having said that I've had some nice work done but only following recommendations from other people who live on the Island.
