During my stay in Khao San (the main tourist area), I decided to get a formal dress and a jacket suit for work.
Since I was staying at a guesthouse in that area, I went to the Mr. Boss tailor shop next to it.
I was amazed at the variety of materials they had, not only for men, but for women as well. The salesmen there were extremely friendly and not at all pushy like some of the other shops.
Upon entering the shop, I was greeted with smiles and despite my habit of indecisiveness and not being able to choose immediately, they patiently told me to take my time with no obligations.
When I went in the next day, they again greeted me warmly and when I actually got my outfits in 24hrs, I was delighted with the fitting. It was perfect! My friends back here in Singapore adore my outfits, especially since I was given a special 20% discount too!
I highly recommend all my friends to visit Mr. Boss Tailor on your next trip to Bangkok. It was totally worth it!
This shop is situated in Soi Rambuttri (next to Merry V Guest house).
It's in Khao San area so it shouldn't be difficult to find.
