I used to live on Phuket and quite often come back to visit. After trying various tailors, I found one I was very happy with. However this year it seems very expensive: 10,000 thb for three shirts and a jacket.

Have prices gone up on the island or am I getting a bad deal here?

Thanks

How much you pay last time you bought shirts ?

"Have prices gone up on the island or am I getting a bad deal here?" - I would say, both.

Decent shirt 2k each , jacket 4k.

Doesnt seem too over the top for made to measure , as long as quality material is being used ?

OK, thanks. I seem to remember paying around 1k per shirt but that may have been going back a few years.

"...as long as quality material is being used ? "

Yes, it's a bit like just asking if Baht 500 is a reasonable price for a restaurant meal. Really depends on factors unknown to anyone responding.

All these indian tailors are robbers. Even wonder why so many of them everywhere to hassle tourists ?
