    Hongkong vs bangkok (Tanika, Narin)

    Already did that because I'd never go fused. But in reality only Narin and Tanika can do that and it's an open question whether they do it well. There's not much demand in Bangkok for canvassed suits or jackets. Again, for that HK and Bangkok are the same price...

    Bangkok tailors

    As a Bangkok resident, I'd have to second the recommendation for Tanika, for shirts anyway - have not tried their other offerings. Bangkok really has three tailors for shirts that are decent : Narin, Tanika and Lala Duly. If I'm to be honest I *enjoy* wearing the Lala Duly ones the most - top...
