Hi,
I will go to Bangkok next month.
I plan to make some suits during my visit to Bangkok.
I read that Bangkok has many good tailors.
Anybody knows about good tailors in Bangkok that do not cheat the customers?
Thank you
Merit's Tailors in the Ambassador Hotel Shopping Arcade
soi 11 Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok
tel 02-254-0444 ext 1121 or 02-6513740
it is in tha Ambassador Hotel...they have a few tailors in there, but make sure you go to Merit tailor only , next to a jewerly shop..He made many suits for me over twenty years and he still makes them well. All the suits and tux that you may see me in my homepage is made by them. They have the best materials also
cheers tommy x
i recommend u visit the many tailor at khao san road area ( backpackers area))many tailors there..resonable long suit prices and could be ready in 24 hours
There are several tailors in the Sukhumvit Road not far from the Nana Skytrain area.
Don't pay for the tailoring all at once and pick the suit up just hours before you fly home! You MUST allow frequent visits for fittings and inspections. If you think that you can get measured once and do nothing until you pick it up before you leave for the airport you are taking a chance. You also have to check the lining, stitching and how the panels line up too! When you inspect the material for fit and construction take the item out in the sunlight and also look for color mismatch.

Good luck.
"I read that Bangkok has many good tailors. "
You will also read that there are even more who are scammers. I wouldn't go to any Bangkok tailor that wasn't personally recommended by a personal friend.
If you still wish to toss the dice, give me a call when you get in. I'll pick you up in my tuk tuk and take you to the best!
This guy was on his way to the airport from the hotel. Look at his baqs.
His wife had a huge load as well.
A family of 3 people hired 3 taxis to take them to the airport as there was not enough space for all the shopping.
I have been told over and over again, "Take nothing" - "You will get it all in Bangkok"
I never learn, and we end up buying extra bags to bring all the shopping home.
Major credit cards (CC) are accepted in the major cities like Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, etc. Some companies levy an additional surcharge when purchasing sale items. Amexco, Visa, Mastercard, JCB are all accepted.
Notes are always accepted by currency exchange kiosks while Traveler's Cheques have a lower rate than notes.
Some rural places do not accept CCs. Most people smiled and accommodated our requests.

Flying Air Asia
So, after reading all the wonderful statements
written by a passenger in the in-flight Air Asia magazine,
I felt relieved that no hardships
were to be expected along the way!
As soon as we pulled into the airport,
I realized that what would be provided
as a way of decent from the plane,
with the portable stairs and
a long flight of very narrow steps down
instead of the airports air-bridge.
Mind you…I had a cast all the way from my thigh
all the way down to my toes….and
I wasn’t seeing a wheel chair
at the bottom of the stairs.
We patiently waited for
all the other passengers to disembark
then someone from the crew
offered to assist me and
one other handicapped passenger down the plane.
I admit I was a bit nervous going down
all those flights of stairs with the help
of someone I didn’t even know if I could trust.
When we finally arrived at the bottom of the stairs,
a van met us and from there on,
a wheel chair was waiting for us,
and then we were strolled through
immigration and baggage claim.
The cost for the wheelchair,
airport assistance 140 Bahts
and totally worth it!
At the Airport
From there we were wheeled to
the Bumrungrad Hospital’s Hospitality Counter,
located at the Arrival Hall C,
opposite Exit Door number 10 at International Arrivals,
where we were welcomed and served some water.
(Bumrungrad Hospital Airport Representative
are provided a full list of arrival dates and
times and will help patients out when notified.)
Patients need to present their names
and their hospital numbers.
Service available from
Monday – Sunday from 0700 – 2300
Tel: 02-1346598 Fax: 02-1346599
The Hospital offers this hospitality desk as
your assistance to transportation that will
take you either to the hospital,
The Bumrungrad Suites or
The Bumrungrad Residence for 950 Bahts
you get a Mu 7 ( SUV Car for 1-3 Persons)
of which will be deducted upon
a payment made at the hospital.
The Bumrungrad Suites
We were able to book a room
for the first few days at the
The Bumrungrad Suites.
The Suites are located
within walking distance to the hospital.
They have wheel chairs and
assistance available at all times.
There is a very nice physiotherapy gym within the building,
the doors of the rooms are wide enough for a wheel chair,
plastic chairs to be used within the shower can be provided,
there is 24 room assistance available, etc.
The drawbacks are that this is a no frills hotel.
Rooms are clean but a bit of a drab.
The Suites are meant to assist patients and family of patients
with a place to stay within close proximity of the hospital.
Not much of a cable TV choice.
Internet service is not free.
You can not open the windows.
The breakfast was not very appetizing and processed.
Not to mention….not the healthiest choice.
The small distance from the suites to the hospital
are on sidewalks which are un-even and
not very easy to maneuver on with a wheel chair.
Sometimes it was opted to stroll me along the side of the street. At Bumrungrad Hospital
The next morning, appointments,
X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, blood tests etc.
commenced.
The equipment used at the hospital
are of the latest models.
We immediately noticed this
when we saw the Digital X-ray and
compared to the one taken in Bali.
The
orthopedic doctor that
we consulted was Dr. Winyou Ratanachai
who repeated what was advised to us before
by the other doctors that we seeked
a second opinion from….surgery.
He was ready to operate
that same evening if we desired,
but we chose to allow a few days to pass
to prepare payment, lodging, etc and
follow up on the other tests and
consultations needed before surgery.
(…I also needed to catch my breath
and come to terms with what
was just about going to happen to me….)
My experience with Bangkok only spans about 10 years.
But, I've seen a radical change in attitude, not so much by the Thais, but by the visitors.
People used to read guidebooks to reseach their destinations.
Reading about places still doesn't remove the "mystery".
All the books on Thailand addressed modesty, politeness, and demeanor.
There would be a laundry list of cultural considerations.
Then came the forums.
Everyone has become an expert and lends their "reality" to the topic.
Any mystery is lost.
Thai's are culturally sensitive? 'Don't make me laugh!'
Dress modestly? 'I see Thai girls dressed provocatively all the time!'
Don't argue or show hostility? 'Don't let the little bastards screw you!'
'All the cops are crooked!'
'Everyone's out to scam you!'
'The land of (phoney) smiles!'
'It's my vacation; I'll do want I want!'
I'm not trying to take a moral high ground.
Anyone can travel in any manner they choose.
But, how one presents himself might just make the difference, whether he is treated as a guest or a mark.
O.K., here's something on currency exchange: We are already living in the year 2001 where technology has literally taken over most basic functions. Yes, even as basic as withdrawing cash! So, no need to change all your money into traveler's checks or Thai Bahts before arriving.
You can actually withdraw ALL the money you need at any ATM machines here in Bangkok.
Yes, just ensure that your ATM is linked to the 'Cirrus', 'Plus', 'The Exchange', 'Maestro' networks. Once it's linked, you can withdraw Thai Bahts even from the remotest Thai banks here in Thailand. And the important thing I've discovered about using this method is that you actually BENEFIT from the LOW INTERBANK EXCHANGE RATES used. Trust me, it'd work. I've tried it countless of times before and have NEVER been disappointed.
What you do is the minute when you arrive at Don Muang Airport, just head straight to any ATM machines located just outside the Arrival Hall and you can withdraw cash for your holiday enjoyment. Of course, the ONLY person I can see that'd fume over this recommendation of mine are the money changers.
