Cost will depend on the quality of the fabric you want. I would suggest that you take a picture of what you want with you, better still a suit you already have which you would like to have copied and tell them what changes you want making to it.

All the tailors are good, but they work so quickly, 24 hours sometimes. If you are there for two weeks, you could get a pair of pants made up, (they will ask how long you are there for and drag it out if they can) to see how well it is done, then decide if you want the same tailor to do more work.

Last time I was in Thailand 12 months ago a mans suit Jacket two pairs of trousers, two shirts and a tie were available from less than £100/$150. That is a rough guide because exchange rates have changed.

You can get designer jeans copied for £7 a pair and special silk shirts with a lot of flamboyant embroidery on too. best to take plenty of pictures or designs with you if you want that sort of work doing.

Enjoy your holiday.

How much should I pay for an airfare to Koh Samui from Perth and retunr in Oct this year?
