went to Thailand for a suit. I like it except I realized too late that it was missing the lapel pin hole.

I've heard more about Raja Fashions - they've been written up in more American publications as well. I always miss them by a week when I visit NYC. bastards.

Raja's is very popular, as Jim Thompson's house (I think that's the name). I think I also read somewhere that the Chinese trained tailors are better than the other ones, but I don't know how you would be able to tell other than if the person is Chinese.

Don't go to Mr. Tommy's (it's in some mall). I bought a suit there, and to compound the problem, I was in a rush. I didn't like the suit and it didn't fit very well.

Tips:

At least 5 fittings (which might mean at least 5 days there).
Bargain bargain bargain

Alot of people overseas in that area travel to korea and thailand to shop.

I wouldn't trust most of those foreign traveling tailors unless you get to meet in person to make sure you get what you requested. I've used MyTailor.com a few times, which was pretty good overall. Plan on sending a suit back 2-3 times for alterations before it is correct. Other than that, you can usually get high quality, custom tailored clothing for a lot less than anything available here in the US.
