The best tailor shops in Bangkok

A curation of the craftsmanship, details and personal touches behind Bangkok’s bespoke suits

Advertising

When in Bangkok, a well-made suit is practically a rite of passage.

The city's tailoring scene is built on craftsmanship as much as convenience. Some shops have spent decades perfecting their cuts and earning fiercely loyal regulars, while others have built reputations on turning out remarkably good suits before your holiday's over.

Here are the eight we'd trust to get you looking dapper in no time.

  • Shopping
  • Menswear
  • Silom

This Silom stalwart has just doubled in size, adding a new display and measuring room, and the expanded digs match a service that's hard to fault. 

Every garment comes with a one-year warranty – if something goes wrong and it can't be fixed, they'll remake it from scratch – and alterations are free. Your measurements stay on file too, so repeat orders can be placed remotely from anywhere in the world, with international shipping; new customers can even order remotely from the start. 

Prices land firmly in the accessible-luxury bracket – arguably the best value bespoke in Bangkok right now – and turnaround is famously flexible. Book ahead and they'll work to your timeframe, with garments delivered in as little as eight hours when the clock is against you. It's also one of the few tailors in town cutting custom polo shirts, and the premium leather belts by the counter are worth adding to the order too.

  • Charoenkrung

On the first floor of the Royal Orchid Sheraton, overlooking the Chao Phraya, Om Fashion Bespoke Tailor cuts everything to order: wool recut for the tropics, genuine Thai silk – still a rarity among Bangkok tailors – and alterations included at the fitting, rather than charged as an extra. 

Suits start from B6,000 and are usually ready in two to three days, with express service available 12- to 24-hours where the fabric and workshop schedule allow. Full tailoring runs to women as well as men, and the same workshop turns out shoes, belts, wallets and silk accessories, so one measurement session can finish an entire outfit. 

Free hotel pickup and in-room fittings make it easy for visitors working to a schedule, and measurements stay on file for reordering from anywhere in the world.

  • Nana

Founded by expat owners – a rarity in a trade Thai families have run for generations – this Sukhumvit Soi 8 operation runs its own in-house production, quality-checked at every stage, and cuts exclusively from European fabrics sourced from mills like Holland & Sherry and Ermenegildo Zegna.

That vertical setup is rare in Bangkok, where most shops outsource stitching to third-party workshops, and it shows in the finish. The flagship occupies a handsome old town house tucked away from the Sukhumvit noise – the vibe is calm and appointment-only, with none of the tout-driven hustle of the tourist strips. Half-canvas construction comes standard, prices are fixed and transparent and returning clients can reorder remotely. It sits at the premium end of this list and you should book well ahead – but for pure craft credibility, this is the benchmark.

Tailor on Ten, 93 Sukhumvit Soi 8, Khlong Toei. Tue-Sat, 9.30am-7pm (closed Sun-Mon) by appointment only.

  • Rattanakosin

The old-town outlier, and proof you don't need a Sukhumvit address to cut a serious suit. Tucked on Phra Athit Road near Khaosan, this family business has been running since 2001 – now in its third generation under brothers Luis and Thakshin Khanal – it has quietly built one of the most loyal followings of any tailor in the city, with well over a thousand five-star reviews and now a second branch on Samsen Road to handle the demand. 

Regulars rave about the service touches: free hotel pickup for fittings, same-day adjustments, WhatsApp updates and reliable international shipping once your measurements are on file. Turnaround is quick even on complex jobs like full tuxedos and pricing is firmly at the value end. A godsend for travellers based in the old city or anyone wanting to forgo the Silom suit onslaught.

Tailored By Luis, 17/1-2 Erawan House, Phra Athit Road, Phra Nakhon (also 258 Samsen Road, Banglamphu). Daily, 8.30am-11.30pm (Sun until 9pm)

  • Nana

Ignore the borrowed name; this Sukhumvit stalwart near Nana has earned its own reputation over the better part of two decades, with regulars who have been returning since the late 2000s. Owner James and his team have a particular knack for difficult fits – counting a 6 foot 10 former pro basketball player among their long-term clients – and the studio routinely turns finished suits around in under 48 hours without the quality dipping. 

It's among the most consistently rated shops in the city, and when something does go wrong, the follow-up service is honest and generous. Long hours, seven days a week, make it an easy walk-in from the BTS.

New Armani Tailor Studio, 162/1 Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Toei. Mon-Sat, 10am-10pm (Sun, 11am-8pm)

  • Sukhumvit 24

The name oversells nothing on the service front. This Sukhumvit Soi 24 shop near Phrom Phong has become a word-of-mouth favourite for first-timers, thanks to a young, sharp floor team who will happily talk you out of a safe navy two-piece and into something braver. 

Prices often land thousands of baht under comparable quotes elsewhere, WhatsApp replies keep coming well into the evening, and last-minute orders get delivered without drama. The fabric library is deep, the advice is honest and the shop handles everything from business suits to full evening gowns. If it's your first bespoke rodeo and budget matters, start here.

  • Silom

Woolrich isn't the only reason to head to Silom Soi 14. A few doors along – some regulars still know it by its old name, Young Boss – this compact operation run by Mr Kim punches well above its size, with a reputation built on speed, straight-talking style advice and all-inclusive pricing with no upselling on buttons or extras. 

The house speciality is the quick turnaround done properly: made-to-measure suits delivered in as little as 48 hours that still fit like they took a fortnight. Hours run from early morning to nearly midnight, seven days a week, which suits Silom's office crowd and jet-lagged visitors alike. A worthy second stop if you're already in the neighbourhood.

Kim Bespoke, 182/1 Silom Road, Soi 14 (opposite Furama Hotel), Bang Rak. Open daily, 9am-11pm

The newest name on the list – and the one we know least well, so it’s worth saying plainly rather than dressing up – Anthony's sits on the ground floor of the United Center Building on Silom Road, in the same stretch of shopfronts that's quietly dressed Bangkok's office crowd for years. 

The pitch is straightforward: walk-ins, free hotel fittings and a turnaround they'll rush if you ask nicely. Exactly how fast varies depending on who's telling you – claims range from a same-day rush job to a couple of days – so treat any promise as a starting point for negotiation rather than a guarantee, and confirm price and timing before fabric gets cut. It hasn't built up the long trail of independent reviews some of the older names on this list carry, so we'd file it under ‘worth a look if you're nearby and pressed for time’ rather than a destination in its own right.

Anthony's Bespoke Tailor Bangkok, G/F, United Center Building No. 323, Silom Road, Bang Rak. Open daily, 9am-9pm
