Michael Tailor

Michael Tailors brings bespoke tailoring to one of Bangkok’s busiest shopping hubs, with a convenient spot on the ground floor of MBK Center, right by the Pathumwan Princess Hotel. With more than 20 years in the business, the team makes custom clothing for men and women, from boardroom-ready suits and wedding tuxedos to shirts, trousers, dresses and overcoats.

Everything starts with a personal consultation covering your budget, style and what you’ll actually be wearing the clothes for. Measurements take posture and proportions into account, while fabrics can be chosen to suit everything from Bangkok’s tropical heat to permanently over-air-conditioned offices (we all know it!). Once the cut is sorted, picking lapels, linings, buttons, pockets, monograms and other details is a breeze, letting you make the finished piece truly your own.

Two-piece suits start at around B7,000 (roughly 245 USD), with final prices varying according to fabric, construction and customisation. If you’re on a tight schedule, fear not. Standard orders take around one to three days, while some suits can be completed within 24 hours if arranged in advance.

And, if you have the time, multiple fittings only help to further fine-tune the final silhouette, making Michael Tailors a particularly handy option for visitors who want the full Bangkok tailoring experience without straying too far from the city-centre action.
