thaigerd Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Went to a tailor shop in Patong last Saturday and ordered 3 different trousers. He said to me come back on Monday to check the size etc. on one of "my" trousers. Went again on Monday and size was ok. "Tomorrow you come my friend and the other 2 trousers will be finished". he said. (i've paid 1000.-Baht deposit) Now my questions: What happened on Tuesday? What happened on Wednesday? What happened on Thursday? and finally: What did I say to him on Thursday(today)? Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellington Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Nobody cares, really. There are too many tailors!; side by side in every shopping area, too many opticians,side by side ........why can't they spread themselves about . I've found the Thai Tailors are best.

ade100 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) I just get them to copy my favourite Saville Row suit. That way I don't have to keep coming back for measurements and they learn a little about English style and elegance. It's a win-win situation.

Because they cannot understand "waisting" and the jackets always hang like sacks, and like the old Hong Kong tailor joke, you are likely to have your new suit with the same cigarete burn on the crutch as your old suit."You wanted an exact copy ,Sir?"

simon43 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Why not avoid all this hassle and just wear a string vest, baggy shorts, black socks and open sandels like I do? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 simon43, i think forum rules state that there shall be no sandals and socks on the forum. :D (of course, this is said VERY tongue in cheek) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
