Thailand is famous for its 'tailor-made' shirts and suits that can be delivered in 24 hours! Another Asian city where pakdokter has seen such establishments is Hong Kong.
One can get such a service in practically any Thai cities - Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiangmai, Koh Samui etc.....and without fail these tailors would be owned and run by the ethnic Indian Thais. This community has somehow managed to dominate and (monopolise?) this segment of the economy. In the past most of the shop staff would be Burmese Indians or Nepalese whereas the owners are the Punjabis. Today pakdokter noticed local Thai girls are also employed to do the measurements especially for the lady customers - probably a need arising from the big number of Arab tourists who would not like their partners to be handled by men.
Shirts cost between Rm80 to Rm150 a piece depending on the material selected and the a whole range of cotton, mixed-cotton and linen materials are available. Woolen Suits ( jacket and pants) would cost in the range of Rm600.
After measurements made, fittings would be done 6 to 12 laters later and the ready-to-wear garments can be delivered to the hotel room in 24 hours!
