We will be in Thailand next month. Our stay in Bangkok is too short to see a tailor, but we will be in Phuket for eight nights.
Anyone out there suggest a good tailor in Phuket? We will be at the Marriott but are very willing to go another part of the island.

A friend is travelling to Phuket shortly and is interested in the same thing -- a tailor (or tailors) who can produce good value ladies and mens clothing.
Surely, someone has experience from this...
Cheers,

It seemed like there were HUNDREDS of pesky tailor shops in Patong.
Which are good, I don't know.
After my first day,
I crossed the street to avoid having to shake their hands,
which they annoyingly thrust into yours as you walk along.

Okay, name a few good places, length of time for the suit to be made, and price I should pay.

Ok first, this thread would be of great help to you:

Plenty of good tailor shops there. The ones that were highly mentioned:
Raja's fashion, Crown Tailors, Rajawongse (havent tried Rajas and rajawongse myself since I've always been happy with Crown, but just to let you know the places that were mentioned)
Secondly, length of time would be 3-4 days with fittings. Maybe even more. I'd highly recommend fittings whenever you go see a tailor. A good tailor will recommend you fittings right away and head you towards good quality material. So dont go for the $139 deals including 2 suits and shirts and ties and stuff. Useless. Price should range from $225-250.
