Diablo Bob Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well it is now official....... I am leaving the land of bulletproof vests and shoulder holsters and returning to Thailand. In my new position, I will sometimes need a suit, so now I am looking for a tailor like they have on Sukhumvitt Soi 11 in Bangkok. Any suggestions?

Maejo Man Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 You can't go past Neramit tailors for quality, and you'll find them in Ratchawong Road. Turn first left after the klong on Chiangmoi Road before you come into Warawot market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Search this branch of the forum for "tailor" and you'll find previous threads on this common topic. Personally I've not found a tailor in Chiang Mai worth recommending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Neramit does very fine shirts & pants, (and pretty decent suit jackets). Plus k. Wirat (the owner) is a nice guy and gives good advice, punctual and reliable service, has been in de business since biblical times and is generally a pleasure to buy from. One of those icons of Chiang Mai who keeps doing what he's good at in the same little shop, for a fair price and without pretense or the need for a tourist-sales-spiel. Kind of the same league as Mother-Kasem, i.e. the people that remind you of Chiang Mai before Starbucks & Tesco. (On a side note, which other people, shops or places would be in that timeless-Chiang Mai league? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProThaiExpat Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I used Neeramit for alterations and had a robe made, all very professionally done. Would use them for a suit if I needed one. The man who always waited on me spoke English very well and said he leared English working as a bartender in an enlisted men's club during the Vietnam war. Is this the ower? His business card speaks of being a general manager and director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 (On a side note, which other people, shops or places would be in that timeless-Chiang Mai league? ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Bierstube for one. It's been there at least twenty years and the Kafe is another. Mind you the Sayuri has been around for an awful long time too I have just collecter a couple of new shirts and a pair of dress trousers from neramit, all a perfect fit.

I'm interested also in getting some shirts/trousers made. Could you tell me what they cost there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Tywais I really wouldn't like to stick my neck out and guess, as it all depends on an individuals body size and requirements. i.e. the quantity and quality of cloth needed. You might be a six stone weakling, in which case it will be cheaper than average. I just paid around 2500 baht for a dress long sleeve shirt, a similar short sleeve shirt, and a pair dress trousers, all in a very good material. I'm 5'9" (174cm) and weigh in around 67Kg if that helps any...Sure you can buy cheaper at Raja Singhs down the night bazaar, but Neramit has been in business since 1953! No I don't get any commission He just does a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I had three suits made for myself at Neramit about ten years ago. Was a wonderful place to do business with back then, good to hear that it hasn't changed in the interim. I'd go back there in a flash if I needed another suit but as it stands, I hardly have the occasion to wear the three I own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
