I'm looking to get some clothes made whilst out in Koh Phangan, and was wondering whether there were any tailors on the island? And if anyone had any recommendations?

Or will I need to travel to Koh Samui to find a tailor?

Thanks in advance

There used to be a tailor in Hadrin but I think they are gone now.

There is a big tailors on Samui that will deliver, and come over to take the second measurements, I am afraid I can't remember the name tho.

dam_n, i wish they were still there. Looks like i'm going to have to go koh samui to get the clothes made. I reckon the tailor who comes to phangan over might charge quite a bit extra for that service.

surley there must be a tailor on KPG????? .............

You'd think so, but not getting much feedback from my hours of research trying to find one.

I guess at least it means one less type of harrasment whilst you're walking in the touristy spots.....

Yes, there is an Indian Tailor in Haadrin - On the next parallel new soi to the 7/11 & chicken corner about 4 shops up. Dont know the name of it though or if its any good or well priced.

Name Armani, sadly not the same style, but very close to the chicken corner (the small new soi)

When I was on Haad Yao at the end of March 2009, there was a tailors shop almost on the beach, at the Bay View resort end of the beach (i.e. the northern end). It was not there in January 2008, and looked new for 2009. I personally never saw a customer there in a month, but they had plenty of signs out on the beach advertising their presence.

Personally, I always get any clothes I want made in Bangkok, where I percieve there to be good competition on price, quality and service. I have them made ready to collect when my time comes to leave the country - it save me carrying them anywhere other than to Swampy on my way back to blighty....

Ady!

Any recommendations for good quality/reliable taylors on Samui?

Thanks guys for the info and advice

Looks like that means there are at least 2 tailors on the island. Now i know a name too hopefully i can get in touch before i get there..

Would normally get the suits made in bangkok, but havent got time to go for fittings, because even though i have a transit time of about 10 hours between landing and getting my bus to the island, the morning i return to bangkok from the island i only have 6 hours before i need to be at the airport, and even though the tailors can be quite good i dont think 6 hours is enough for them to do the adjustments properly.
