Just looking for a recommendation for a quality tailor on or near Khao San. Can anyone recommend someone good - not a 24 hour jobber - with reasonable prices? Is 2000 bt for a jacket and pants way too low?

Anyone who has had a good experience and especially anyone who has gone on to mail order through one business, please respond to this email.

Thanks all! Shocked

Everything's a scam on KSR for a reason -- the rent's too high there to run an honest business, and there are too many people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Asking for a "good" tailor on KSR is a bit like asking for good Mexican food in Russia.

But I'm sure there are plenty of adequate ones.

Hi there,

I get my trousers made by King's Tailors for 850 baht, which aint bad at all. The place is run by a nice Indian family. Speak to Andrew, he's a good guy.
They are opposite Buddy Lodge.
