TAILORS:
Just like Hong Kong, Thailand is reputed for its custom tailors. With a plus: this is the country of silk, and hand made clothing in this material are available for one tenth of the Western price. Shops are hiring external tailors. Therefore, wherever you go, consider the shopkeeper... as a shopkeeper. Tell him what you are looking for, and how much you would like to pay. Bargaining is part of the deal; but do not require dirty cheap job, as you would receive dirty cheap quality of clothes also ! Serious shopkeepers will do their best to make you understand where is your interest. SAVILE
