That could be really true, I didn't buy any but I thought they had a nice selection. I would LIKE to believe they are better at about 500 baht, but you might be right. They make good gifts.....people love the story more than "I bought it at chatuchak".
This idea about the Jim Thompson ties is valid if you have time....
The comment about the shirt materials at Rajawongsee if pretty valid too, though they seem to have 4 types of shirt materials....thin, thick, one-sided print, and some sort of polyester blend. They all tend to shrink...
Nice store, very friendly, just not the super bargain you think you are getting when you are there...maybe that applies to all tailor shops. After the experiences, I buy all my suits in the USA or France from big department stores...the quality is better, IMHO. Shirts, however, tailors are a good option for copies...
