Over the years, countless readers have asked me if they should tailor in Bangkok, and I’ve never been able to give an opinion, as I’ve never done so myself. With the pandemic now behind us (fingers crossed), I’ve visited a few tailors in Bangkok over the past few months and have decided to highlight those that impressed me the most.
The following are affordable tailors in Bangkok, where I’ve personally had garments tailored. There are other listicles online about Bangkok tailors, but none that feature the writer personally tailoring from all the mentioned tailors. Like my Singaporean tailoring listicle, the tailors are categorised by price point.
Tailors under 7,000 THB:
If budget is a primary consideration — perhaps the reason you opt for tailoring in Bangkok rather than locally — the following tailors offer decent suits at exceptionally affordable prices.
1) Michael Tailors
Located in the popular MBK Centre, Michael Tailors blends affordability with convenience and boasts a perfect Google rating.
Google Rating: 5/5
Lead time: 2-3 days
Nearest BTS Station: National Stadium
My opinion: The unique selling point of Michael Tailors is its convenience – you only need to head down once for fabric selection and initial measurements. Thereafter, you can enjoy the fittings in the comfort of your hotel room at your convenience, with the completed suit sent to your room. Given how congested traffic in the Sukhumvit area can get, this allows those with busy itineraries to get a tailor-made suit without worrying about rushing to appointments. The eventual suit is also decent and very budget-friendly, with a suit and a shirt setting you back as little as 6,300 Baht/~S$235 (after the discount below).
Price: Suiting packages (a suit and one shirt) at Michael Tailors start at 7,000 Baht (~S$259). Quote the promo code ‘WAHSOSHIOK’ or flash this post in-store to enjoy a 10% discount on all suiting packages.
Location: MBK Centre, G-floors, zone-D (end of zone-D) Room 1D-09, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330

2) Perfect Tailor BKK
If you’re looking for a 24-hour tailor in Bangkok, I’ll recommend Perfect Tailor BKK in Sukhumvit.
Google Rating: 5/5
Lead time: 24 Hours
Nearest BTS Station: Phrom Phong
My opinion: If you have a limited budget and a tight timeline, then I believe Perfect Tailor is a viable option. Not only are prices affordable, but the resulting garment is also decent, especially considering that it was finished within a day. While it may not be my most impressive suit, I think Perfect Tailor will be a good fit for those looking for something basic, such as a groomsmen suit, or perhaps prom. Furthermore, the Perfect Tailor team goes the extra mile in service by offering drinks and the option to have the fitting and collection in your hotel room.
Price: Suits from Perfect Tailor start from 6000 THB (~S$230), with this particular suit costing 8000 THB (~$310). For those interested in commissioning a suit from Perfect Tailor, quoting the promo code ‘WAHSOSHIOK’ or presenting this post in-store will grant you a 10% discount on your total purchase.
Location: 833 Sukhumvit Rd, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110

3) Tailored by Luis
If you’re looking for an affordable and reliable tailor in the party district of Khao San, then Tailored by Luis might be your best bet.
Google Rating: 5/5
Lead time: 3-4 days
Nearest BTS Station: There are no BTS Stations near Khao San, so I recommend taking a Grab/Grabbike.
My opinion: If you’re looking for a tailor in Khao San, I would highly recommend Tailored by Luis – I can see why they have such a high Google Rating. The workmanship is good, the suit fits decently, the pricing is transparent, and Luis’s service is exceptional. I especially love the Starry Night lining, which has actually gotten me many compliments from friends and strangers. For the price point, Tailored by Luis certainly punches above their weight, and even provides free airport/hotel pickup for prospective clients. Amongst the tourist traps in Khao San, Tailored by Luis is a hidden gem.
Price: Suits at Tailored by Luis start at 5,500 THB (~S$218), while shirts start at 980 THB (~S$39). Those interested in commissioning a suit from Tailored by Luis can quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this post in-store to enjoy a 10% discount on all orders.
Locations: Erawan House – 17/1-2 Erawan House Phra Athit Road, Chanasongkran, Paranakon, Chanasongkram, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand, and Banglamphu – 258 Samsen Road, Talat Yot, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200 Thailand

4) Boss Apparels
Boss Apparels is honest and transparent about its pricing, offering a true tailoring experience at very affordable prices.
Google Rating: 4.9/5
Lead time: 3-4 days
Nearest BTS Station: National Stadium
My opinion: If you’re looking for the best fit for your buck, it’s hard to find a better tailor than Boss Apparels. I found the fitting process at Boss Apparels to be thorough and meticulous, with Mack’s attention to detail translating to a well-fitting suit. Furthermore, the prices are reasonable and transparent – you don’t have to worry about getting ripped off here. Boss Apparel’s classic cut should also appeal to a wide variety of tastes and will be appropriate for both work and events. Boss Apparels works best for those who already know what they want, so if you’re looking for a classic suit (e.g. navy suit with white shirt) then Mack will be right up your alley.
Price: Suits from Boss Apparels start at just 6,000 THB (~S$234), and shirts at 1,500 THB (~S$58). Those interested in commissioning clothing from Boss Apparels can quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this post in-store to enjoy a whopping 20% off orders for the first five customers monthly, or a free shirt with a minimum purchase of 10,000 THB.
Location: Rama I Rd, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand

5) James Paul Bespoke
I stumbled across James Paul Bespoke by sheer chance while staying at the Thaisun Hotel during my recent Bangkok trip. After quickly checking their Google review rating (an impressive 5/5), I decided to give them a try – and was pleasantly impressed by the finished suit.
Google Rating: 5/5
Lead time: 4-5 days
Nearest BTS Station: Phra Khanong
My opinion: At the risk of sounding cliché, James Paul Bespoke is a hidden gem. I’m delighted that I came across this humble tailor shop in Phra Khanong, because they delivered one of the best suits that I’ve had tailored in Bangkok so far. To be honest, I was a tad skeptical that a nondescript tailor situated on the premises of a budget hotel (where rooms go for $30-50 a night) would carry fabrics from luxury mills such as Dormeuil, Drago, and even Zegna. However, after experiencing their tailoring, I can see why their regulars trust them with S$2-3K suits – they clearly know what they are doing. The suit fits great, the finishing is good, and the design elements are eminently striking without being ostentatious – I’ll definitely be returning for another suit.
Price: Suits from James Paul Bespoke start from 6,900 THB, while shirts start from 1,000 THB. Those interested in commissioning a suit from James Paul Bespoke can quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this post in-store to enjoy a free shirt with every suit purchase.
Location: 1110 4 Soi 46/1, Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand
Review: I reviewed my experience with James Paul Bespoke here, and in the YouTube video below:
Tailors under 10,000 THB:
If you have a slightly higher budget, the following tailors are worth considering — many operate from more refined showrooms and demonstrate a stronger, more distinctive sense of style as well as more personalised service.
6) Paul’s Fashion
I’ve heard great things about Paul’s Fashion over the years, especially from Singaporeans who raved about it being great value for money. I should emphasise that Paul’s Fashion is a separate entity from another tailor named Paul’s Bespoke – don’t get confused!
Google Rating: 4.6/5
Lead time: 4-5 days
Nearest BTS Station: Chit Lom (Intercontinental), Asok/Phrom Phong (Sukhumvit 20).
My opinion: I had a great experience with Paul’s Fashion. A large part of this positive experience can be attributed to Dave (pictured above), who carefully attended to the suit’s fit during the fittings. I could sense his enthusiasm and dedication to delivering well-fitting garments, as well as his commitment to service. This was clear when he actually met me at the airport in the wee hours of the morning, rather than simply mailing the garments (and charging me an additional shipping fee) as most tailors would in similar situations. The result was perhaps the best-fitting suit that I’ve had for under S$400, crafted from a decent fabric to boot. I also recently returned for a second suit (pictured below), and was pleasantly surprised by elevated details such as pick stitching, contrasting buttonholes, functional cuffs, and Gurkha trousers. If you’re in Bangkok and looking for an affordable tailor, I suggest visiting Paul’s Fashion.
Price: Suits from Paul’s Fashion start at 7500 THB/S$300, and shirts at 1000 THB/S$40. Those interested in commissioning a suit from Paul’s Fashion can quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” when making their appointment or flash this article in-store to receive a complimentary 100% cotton shirt (worth 1,000 THB/S$40) with every suit purchase. As the icing on the cake, Singaporean customers receive an additional 5% discount when paying in SGD cash.
Locations: Intercontinental Hotel – 973 President Tower Arcade Lobby, Phloen Chit Rd, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand, and Sukhumvit 20 – 64/17, 64 Sukhumvit 20 Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Toei, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Review: I reviewed my initial experience with Paul’s Fashion here, and my follow-up experience here, as well as in the YouTube video below.
7) Galaxy Tailor
Galaxy Tailor’s perfect Google rating piqued my interest, and I have to say they certainly didn’t disappoint.
Google Rating: 5/5
Lead time: 3-4 days
Nearest BTS Station: Asok
My opinion: I found the fit of my Galaxy Tailor suit to be good, especially given its affordable price. The fit is slimmer and decidedly more modern, perhaps reflecting the personal preferences of the youngish David and Jay. During my second visit, I was pleasantly surprised to find they carry fabric rolls from premium European mills such as VBC, and I was impressed by how the team handled the fabric, especially given the 3-day turnaround. The fit and workmanship have also been improved – a testament to Galaxy Tailor’s innovation and commitment. I also appreciated the service of David and Jay, who made me feel at home in their boutique. As the icing on the cake, Galaxy Tailor also offers free delivery (to your Bangkok hotel room or home address) and free alterations for 5 years.
Price: Suits at Galaxy Tailor start at 8,000 THB (~S$300), while shirts start at 1,600 THB (~S$63). Quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this article in-store to enjoy a free cotton shirt and a free tie with every suit purchase.
Location: 52 Sukhumvit Soi 18, Khwaeng Khlong Toei, Khet Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

8) Narry Bespoke Tailors
Named after its founder, Narinder Narry Suriya-Amrit, Narry Bespoke Tailors has operated since 1977 with a wholly in-house production.
Google Rating: 4.8/5
Lead time: 3-5 days
Nearest BTS Station: Nana
My opinion: If you are considering a tailor in the Sukhumvit area, then Narry Bespoke Tailors is well worth a visit. Conveniently located within walking distance of Nana BTS station, the atelier also offers a relatively efficient turnaround, making it particularly suitable for visiting travellers. SK, who trained in London, stood out for his level of engagement and customer focus, which felt notably more considered than what I’ve encountered at many Bangkok tailors. More importantly, the end product delivers where it matters most: strong fabric choices, solid construction, and a well-judged British cut that remains versatile across formal and professional settings. My latest navy double-breasted suit (pictured below) could easily pass for something commissioned in London rather than Bangkok.
Price: Suits at Narry Bespoke Tailors start at 8,800 Baht (~S$326), while shirts start at 1,200 Baht (~S$45). Quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this article in-store to enjoy a free 100% cotton shirt and a free tie with every suit purchase.
Location: 155/22 Sukhumvit Soi 11/1, Klongtoey Nuea, Wattana, Bangkok, Thailand, 10110
Review: I reviewed my experience with Narry Bespoke Tailors here, and in the YouTube video below.
9) Reign Custom Tailors
I found Reign Custom Tailors more stylistically adventurous, making them perfect for those who dare to be different.
Google Rating: 4.9/5
Lead time: 5-7 days
My opinion: During my follow-up visit, I asked Ravin of Reign Custom Tailors to deliver a classic aesthetic inspired by the understated style of icons such as Harvey Specter and Don Draper. The resulting three-piece grey birdseye suit (see photo below) certainly delivered, with a fit that is clean and assertive, while subtle, well-judged details lend the garments a touch of character without being ostentatious. It’s also a stylistically flexible piece – worn with or without a tie, styled as separates, or even paired with a polo in place of a shirt and waistcoat – which strengthens its overall value proposition. For those seeking a timeless, “old money” sensibility in Bangkok, Reign Custom Tailors is well worth considering.
Price: Suits at Reign Custom Tailors start at 10,000 Baht (~S$375), while shirts start at 2,000 Baht (~S$75). Quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this article in-store to enjoy a 10% discount on all orders from Reign Custom Tailors.
Location: 14, 16 Decho Rd, Suriya Wong, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand

Tailors above 10,000 THB:
Although Bangkok is often associated with budget tailoring, several long-standing ateliers operate at a markedly higher level, offering strong craftsmanship and refined cuts at prices that remain competitive by international standards.
10) Patrick & Co
First established in the 1960s, Patrick & Co positions itself as a premium offering, carrying rolls from esteemed mills such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Drago, Loro Piana, and VBC.
Google Rating: 5/5
Lead time: 4-7 days
Nearest BTS Station: Thonglor
My opinion: While there is certainly no shortage of Bangkok tailors who cater to those on a tight budget and timeline, there are also options like Patrick & Co, which specialises in serving more discerning clientele. I was thoroughly impressed by the wide variety of premium European fabrics on offer and the posh showroom. More importantly, I appreciated Navin’s hospitality – he inquired about my itinerary and suggested food and nightlife spots – and his distinct sense of style. The result is a sharp outfit with beautiful detailing that I’ll be proud to wear to any event.
Price: Suits from Patrick & Co start from 15,500 THB(~S$600), while shirts start from 1,600 THB(~S$60). Those interested in commissioning a suit from Patrick & Co can quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this post in-store to enjoy a free shirt with every suit purchase.
Location: 89 Soi Sukhumvit 57, Thong Lo Place, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

11) Rajawongse Clothier
With a rich history of dressing American dignitaries, including Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, Senator John Kerry, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Rajawongse has built an impressive reputation.
Google Rating: 4.8/5
Lead time: 4-5 days
Nearest BTS Station: Nana
My opinion: After trying out Rajawongse Clothier, I can see why it has attracted clientele from U.S. Presidents to Singaporean Ministers – its tailoring is a cut above the rest. Rajawongse’s workmanship is the best I’ve personally experienced in Bangkok thus far and is comparable to Singaporean tailors twice the price. While its 16,000 Baht (~S$600) starting price is significantly higher than that of other Bangkok tailors, the quality justifies the premium. It’s also one of the few premium tailors in the area that can deliver a full suit in 4-5 days, making it a viable choice for tourists as well. If you are looking to commission a value-for-money work suit, I highly recommend Rajawongse Clothier.
Price: Suits from Rajawongse Clothier start at 16,000 Baht (~S$600), while shirts start at 1,800 Baht (~S$70). Those interested in commissioning a suit from Rajawongse Clothier can quote the promo code “WAHSOSHIOK” or flash this post in-store to enjoy a free shirt with every suit purchase.
Location: 130 Sukhumvit Road (Next to Landmark Hotel), Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Review: I reviewed my experience with Rajawongse Clothier here, and in the YouTube video below.
Conclusion
Overall, I was highly impressed with the tailors in Bangkok, particularly with their affordable prices and quick turnaround times. I’ll be revisiting Bangkok at the end of the year and will be sure to commission a few more suits then. I’ll update this article with more Bangkok tailors soon.
