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.
