Mike & Co. – Good tailors

Thailand has been traditionally home for inexpensive tailors, and we Finns seem to be ardent customers — deducted from the number of Finnish advertisements on tailors’ doors.

Finding a good tailor is an adventure itself, as the first glance doesn’t tell you that much, and it’s already too late to cancel the deal when you know the quality.

So, it’s best to ask for recommendations. We were recommended, by several sources, to Mike & Co. tailor, a couple kilometers north from the Hua Hin city centre and the tourist area.

The biggish tailor shop is located next to a Thai silk shop, and all silks sold there are also available for dresses. The service was excellent and at least seemingly honest, the number of fabrics was good and the results very good, too. It takes half a week to get a suit ready and the process has two fittings. The company send a car to pick us up from the hotel and later provided transportation back. All remarks were taken at face value and misfits were corrected fast.

The tailor is more expensive than those in the beachfront, but I think that the money is well spent on the quality and especially on the feeling that you are not being fooled.
