A friend of mine is making his first trip to Thailand and Pattaya.  He is looking for a tailor in Pattaya that makes extra large linen shirts.  He will be there July 11-25. Anybody recommend such a place?

 

Thanks

He wants to borrow a few shirts off him!

the comments received were ridiculous.  Read the text of my original post.  It is clear I wanted a tailor that could make a large shirt.  People that think they are funny are not, and are not helping.  If so lonely as to waste time instead of helping, please stop abusing this forum and go somewhere else

I love linen shirts.  I stocked up with plenty before leaving US 5 years ago.  I'm definitely not ashamed to admit I bought almost all of them on eBay.  Just inspect the photos carefully and the seller's reputation and your friend will do fine.  Another reason to buy in the West.... you can rely upon the size to be as expected.

 

There are different grades of linen and I have not found good ones in Thailand.... and the colors/patterns are so plain.  I don't think there's much of a market in Thailand for quality linen so the selection is poor.

Yeah.  I live in Florida and I am rounding some up as well as linen pants also.  Can't beat the comfort.  The drug lord look.. well comes with the pants I guess! .  wonder if they make linen cargo pants?
