PattayaDavid Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm leaving in a week to attend my daughter's wedding. I was just informed that I will need to wear a Tuxedo. The going rental price in the United States is approximately $160. I had one made years ago in Thailand that costs somewhere in the vicinity of this price, maybe a little more, however I no longer have this Tux. Could anyone recommend a quality tailor shop in Pattaya with fair prices that uses good quality materials? Time is short. Thanks, Pattayadavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 To kick this off, I needed a jacket in a hurry a few years back and used "Classic" tailors for the price and what jacket was needed for it was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiDeeFarang Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Grovers on Pattaya Klang between Beach and Second Road near the Krung Thai Bank is by far the best tailor in Pattaya! The sheer choice of fabric is incredible. You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Location for Classic tailors please? I would agree with this ... they are not one of the "handshaking" <deleted> hanging around the sidewalks. Anyway, Second road opposite Royal Garden Plaza (a little bit south) ... walk down the soi towards the Royal Palace Hotel and then do a sharp right and walk about twenty meters. Naka.

raro Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Henry in Nakluea Road opposite Woodland Resort, next to Tutti Frutti bar. Mytailor for many years, never had a problem. Got me a tux there a couple of months ago, I think 6,000 if I remember well including shirt and bow tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaDavid Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks guys; I will check out some these places tomorrow. Heck, if I can buy a Tux for the price of renting one in the US, it's a no brainer. Again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattyboy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The Indian tailor shops in Pattaya don't actually do any of the tailoring -- they measure you and sell you the material for your clothes then go around to the the Thai sewing shops near the Tuk Com parking lot where they pay the Thais a little of the money you gave them to make your clothes. I was wondering if anybody has tried eliminating the middleman (the Indian shop owner) and dealing directly with the Thais who do the real work.

I hope people don't get the impression that I'm picking on Indians. I have actually dealt with some very honest and likable Indians during the course of my life. However, I think most of us would agree that the Pattaya tailor shop Indians are more than a little tiresome with there relentless sales pitch and the eternal handshake. I don't think they deserve to be rewarded with a lot of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
