Are you for real?

If so, I'd wait til you go to Bangkok, and save Baht.

There are 21 tailor shops along the beach road at Lamai. Who could say if they are in any way different? Same material, same selection, same people....

40+ tailor shops along Chaweng Beach Road.

Price per shirt approx. Baht 600.- (depends on material of course)

If you make 5 shirst = Cost 3,000

Bangkok Tailor may be 500 Baht per shirt

5 shirts = 2,500 Baht

Roundtrip by PG, plus taxi etc. = 8,000.- Baht

Go figure...

I can recommend World Tailor, opposite Chaweng Regent, I've had lots of shirts made there, good quality and reasonable.

there are many places around Chaweng that make the clothes for the tailors. cut out the middleman go to them direct there are loads on the road from tesco into Chaweng. i use a place not sure of its name i will look but go past PTT station on the main ring road turn left just before the BUPA office go to the end of the road turn left and it is there on the right. cost me 350 baht per shirt, he makes for the tailors. Indian tailors are only shop fronts.

had a look yesterday name was in thai unfurtunatly however if you come in the way i directed it is the second shop on the right past the road that goes to samui arcadia. it is inbetween samui plaza and the arcadia road. has a few manakins in the window. the shirts were a bit to long he took them up for 20 baht. if you come in from lamdin where the monkey temple is it is about 200 yards past samui plaza on left if you get to the samui arcadia road sign you gone to far. shop opposite rents out motorbikes.

That may be true, but the Indian tailors speak English, know how to measure you properly

and can advise on the types of material available...............

Now, what is the Thai for "pure cotton", or "polycotton"??
