If you have been to Patong before then you will most certainly have been approached a few dozen time by Nepalese or Burmese sales people who are employed by some tailors in Phuket to lure customers to their shops. I would normally avoid any tailors in Phuket which employs these type of pushy sales people as the good Phuket tailors have contracts with tour organisations, hotels and other businesses and do not require to find new customers this way.

You will also encounter amazing offers from many Phuket tailors which seem to good to be true. The fact is that these great special deals with these selected Phuket tailors might be very cheap however you will regret it later on.

I will explain to you why you should avoid these special deals with Phuket tailors. Please note that one of my best friends in Phuket owns a number of Phuket tailor shops and has explained me the ins and outs of how many Phuket tailors operate.

You get what you pay for and this especially the case with Phuket tailors. The tailors in Phuket generally all offer a similar quality of fabric however there are big quality differences between their top level fabric and their low end fabric. If you purchase a suit or shirt at one of the Phuket tailors which is poor quality fabric then you will not be able to enjoy your new clothing item for very long as it will soon tear or discolor.

Many Phuket tailors inform you that they have their own team of people who actually make the suits, stitch the fabric and perform other tasks involving the production of the clothing items. This is actually a big lie which many Phuket tailors tell customers as nearly all the Phuket tailors use the same few companies which stitch the material and prepare the clothing items for the Phuket tailor shops.

The big difference between the various companies that offer these services to Phuket tailors is the price they charge and the quality level of their work. Some for example might only offer single stitching whilst the more expensive offer double stitching services the Phuket tailors.

Therefore the more amazing a deal you thing you are getting with a Phuket tailor, the more likely it is that the low quality and cheapest company will do the sewing and stitching on your clothing which will obviously lead to poor quality tailor made clothing for you. So please keep this in mind when you receive a special offer from your Phuket tailor or if you are trying to bargain hunt at various different Phuket tailors.

The following list of Phuket tailors include tailors who generally have a good reputation with their clients for the quality level of the tailor made clothing that they make.
