Shopping, Hua Hin, Thailand (reviewed June, 2007)

Thai Silk Village – Silk, silk, silk

Thailand is renown for silk, both the fabric and the garments. However, the greedy Thai businesses do their best to make buying silk problematic — if you are not a professional or seasoned amateur, you never know what you are purchasing for real.

Thai Silk Village in Hua Hin, Thailand
Fortunately, there is an upscalish silk shop at the northern end of Hua Hin; Thai Silk Village. The big store has all kinds of silk fabrics, and the people selling the stuff know their turf — and manage not to be pushy.

The adjoining Mike & Co. tailor company can be used to make the suit of your dreams from the silk in the shop.

Keld, unfortunately I’m not affiliated with the site - this is just a review of the shop. I would try to send mail or call to Mike & Co. for English service. Hopefully this helps.
