As an australian a diplomat based in India I can also highly recommend the Chinese tailor. By far the highest quality suits I have had made in India or Thailand. Semi expensive but worth it.

I was scammed buy a company Glorious Tailors co ltd, address is 121-123/125 Prachatipatai Road, BKK. They promised me and my wife very good quality, and after the first fitting we realized it was not what we ordered. We wait for the second and third fitting, but nothing. We wanted our money to be refund, and came to the tourist police…
Don’t buy on this shop.
They are scamming people!!!

I agree I went there and purchase 15 shirts and 6 slacks. Then went back to Singapore and call in 7more shirts and a pair of slacks. Wife had skirts made as well. all were done in less then two days and are doing great. Need to get a suit made or two. Cost was very fair. I compared to Singapore and they were half the cost.

They will measure you, so it will be made to measure, whatever size you are.To get it made in 4 days make it your first job to price one up. Prices are about 50-75% for what we would pay for an off the peg one in places like Marks & Spencer – not really an aussie equivelant.
I’m onto my third suit from Savile Row Custom Tailor in the last two years, and personally I think the quality and value are second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this tailors to anyone. They are on level 1, and even if you don’t have enough time, they will post your suit to you anywhere in the world, if you’re really lucky, you get a beer while being measured up. Top class service. The work was excellent, the shirts are holding up very well, and everyone loves the suit.
First, with cottons, the greater the number, the higher the number of threads per square inch/cm. That translates to finer threads, and much softer fabric.
As for wool, depends upon where you are going be wearing the suit. They are going to have bolts upon bolts of fabric to choose from, and they will be able to help you with the weight, once you are there. The suit I wrote about is 100% wool, but it is extremely light, in fact a bit too light for the Atlanta winter. It is almost like a heavy silk.If you have never gotten custom made clothes before, you are actually in for a treat. Aside from their fitting better, suddenly you have a choice of fabrics, and you can select your clothes based on feel rather than simply upon appearance. It really is a big change. While I can afford off the shelf Egyptian cotton shirts, most of my custom made stuff is Egyptian cotton. (The ultimate fairness in life is that Sea Island cotton is even nicer than Egyptian, and the Sea Islands are just off the Georgia coast, and I still can afford the stuff here

My husband has been happy with Excelsior opposite the Le Meredien. The quality is good and price is reasonable. We luckily found them at night while eating at a restaurant opposite the shop and notice lots of customers visiting them.
We tried and they were really good with the quality.

That’s true John, and I can recommend Chinese Tailors on Patchaburi Road.

I’ve had a number of suits and shirts made there and have never had a problem with them. The quality of materials and workmanship is great. The only thing is, the salesman that always takes care of me is a little gruff.

Or just research for some recommended tailors or find out from your friends/families where they’ve been happy with. Remember, recommendation is always better than advertisement!
