Buying tailor made clothes on Samui

Posted by Full mooner on August 5th, 2011 filed in Tourist tips

The high quality and low prices of tailor-made clothes in Thailand often entices visitors to the kingdom to set themselves up with new wardrobes. There are tailor’s shops in most major cities and tourist resorts in Thailand. Samui is no exception to this and professional clothiers at stores around the island can run off bespoke garments to customer specifications in no time at all.

Tailor’s shops on Samui are mostly concentrated around Nathon Market, Lamai Beach and on Chaweng Beach Road. They offer a full range of garments including trousers, dresses, skirts, shirts, blouses and accessories with qualities comparable to Savile Row, yet at a fraction of the price.

As well as the finest locally produced and imported silks, clothes are offered in materials such as cashmere, linen and cotton. Seams, hems and buttonholes are expertly sewn and finished garments are guaranteed to fit perfectly, or alterations are carried out immediately and at no extra cost.

As tailors are adept at taking precise measurements, the only thing that customers need to communicate is the specific clothing style they want, if it is not a standard shop offering, and the exact price of the completed articles.
