I am an American businessman who came to Bangkok with a personal goal...to get my favorite (and almost worn out) Tiger brand suit of Sweden remade EXACTLY. I had a bad experience in Singapore with a tailor there even after doing some research. In any city, it is easy to find the most expensive tailor. When coming to BKK, I'd rather have it done in NYC or Miami where I live for that kind of money. I didn't need them to measure me or leave the style up to their eyes this time. Just copy a suit I already love and do it right at a great price. This was my goal and has been accomplished.
My research started (as you are doing now) on-line. There are many tailors on Sukhumvit Road as you will see. It is never a good feeling to see tailors who look at most tourists like a Cheshire cat would. Keep in mind, I know a little more than most about how suits are made (glue...canvass...etc...), but I am certainly not an expert nor am I the kind of guy who demands a world class suit like some. If you are one of those people, Narin Couture is probably your best bet. They are quite expensive, but the owner (same guy you will see on a cnn article on the top 5 Bangkok tailors) was helpful and told me there was no way to get a suit done in 3 days. Fair enough.
I went to many stores and decided on one called Unique Tailor at 477 Corner Soi 25 in Bangkok. The reason I chose them is they were young guys who had a local tailor who would make it and do the 'fitting' (the bottom line is there should be no need for a fitting since this is an exact copy..but...making sure it was done exactly is extremely important). Plus they were honest about where the materials were actually made and what to expect for the price I was paying. They also told me in the short time I had that a 1/2 canvassed suit (My Tiger suit was 1/2 canvassed also) was the only way possible to complete it on time. I agreed.
The suits were done in 2 days and exactly to the specifications. The Stitching was excellent as we closely examined the workmanship of each suit as well as a very cool liner they threw it to make the suit quite custom. I was even able to 're-birth' my favorite and quite worn out Tiger black pin stripe...and decided to have them make me a Tuxedo using the same dimensions and ship it to me in Miami. They liked the look of the suit so much they told me that this would be a 'template' to make for other tall and in shape guys by saving my pics and exact dimensions/angles and cuts. My cost 16500 BHT for 3 suits. 2 suits are wool/cashmere/silk 180s and the 3rd pin stripe is wool/cahmere blend super 150.
The guys who helped me were Sunny and Sam. They are young and honest. Go for it.

Bangkok is full of tailors - a handful on every street. Many will promise top workmanship, done in a hurry. Almost all deliver on time, some fall short of expectations.
Unique Tailor (ask for Sam) is by far - by far! - the best. I have had a few experiences before, and while most were competent, none stood out as truly exceptional. Until I visited Sam/Unique Tailor. 1 bespoke suit, 4 shirts, and 2 trousers later - all done in 3 days, with one fitting session - I was one truly satisfied customer. Since we were at Radison Blu (right next door), he delivered to my hotel directly.
UPDATE: February 2015:
Another suit, another 5 shirts. All exceptional quality, done in 4 days, including fitting. Impeccable workmanship, and Sam even remembered my liking for pocket squares from my previous visit and had a few made for me from matching fabrics - at no additional charge. And again, delivered to my hotel well ahead of time, eventhough I was staying at the W on Sathorn.
Sam - thank you, and see you again soon!

I have used several different tailors in Bangkok over the years and Unique is by far the best. They have a huge range of high quality fabrics for shirts, suits and casual trousers. The manager Max is first class. Not at all pushy and very careful to make sure he makes exactly what you want. Very reasonable prices too. I have been back 4 times and been totally satisfied.

When I went to get my 3 suits and 6 shirts I found lots of faults and errors on them and I had to wait 2 hours for them to be sent back and fixed several times. But as I had already paid I had to wait.
The person working in the shop when I was picking up my suits was different than when I ordered them. If this person was here when I ordered the suits I would not have placed my order here at all. He had a discussing character and I felt that he was trying to sweet talk me to pay more and to take the suits and leave without checking them. I had to argue and discuss with him all the time. I unpacked the suits to check and he packed them back into the suit covers before I had checked properly.
I would advise anyone to check another shop before placing their order at Unique Tailor and DON’T pay all until your suit is checked, fixed and rechecked. The price here was also very expensive. I thought that would give me high quality as this shop also has a good review here in Trip Advisor. But I don’t understand why!
Also be sure that the suits have the shape as you want. My 3 suits had much too large shoulders and I will have to fix them here in Norway. The shoulder pads ends outside the arm sleeves.

Professional, friendly with good craftsmanship.
Value for money and easily accessible.

Everyone who has been looking for tailors in Bangkok knows that it can be a daunting task. Who can I trust to deliver a good quality product at a reasonable price? Admittedly, I am no expert but have ordered suits and shirts in Bangkok before. So when I passed Unique Tailor on my way to my hotel, I decided to order some more shirts and a vest. And I can only say that they didn't disappoint. What I particularly appreciated was the absence of a pushy sales guy. Instead I was meet with a very service minded guy who quickly helped me narrow my choices of fabric and style. So I can most definitely recommend them for shirts and Vest and If I decide I need another suit next time I come to Bangkok and I stay at Radisson next door, then I will pay them a visit again.

Located just a few steps from Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, about 200m from Asoke BTS. Got the best experience from Unique Tailor. This is our second visit to them. This time, we made 1 jacket (female), 3 pants (male) and 8 shirts (male and female) and Unique Tailor made all of them exactly to our specifications. Please ask for Mr Sam when you visit. Sam is soft-spoken, knowledgeable and skilled. He gives the best advice in terms of choosing the fabric, style or even the colours of buttons that matches you and your ideal look. Mr Sam and his team of seamstress are patient and dedicated. Give them a try!

We did some research on the web before choosing Unique Tailors & we were so glad we did !! My fiance did total of 2 suits (jacket & pants set) & 3 long sleeve work shirts for a value for money price !! Did one blue thicker material jacket for wedding & one black suit for work ..
The suit jacket and pants can be of different materials and there was quite a lot of fabric to choose from . Sam and Jun greeted us and they were so friendly and not hard selling ! We initially only did one suit but decided to do another one because friendliness, quality and the turnaround time is great !
The turnaround time is impressive, We arrived at shop on Thursday morning for first measurements and choosing of fabrics (gave deposit) , Friday afternoon for second fitting to try shirt , pants and suit for finishing touches , like where to loosen and tighten etc ..(and we only decided to do the 2nd suit on Friday & they can use the same measurements) & Saturday we were able to collect all our items already !! :) tried everything before we left the shop & everything was perfect fit !! Thumbs up guys !! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Also the location is perfect as we stayed near Asoke BTS Station , the shop is like 5-8 mins walk from the Interchange 21 exit .. Extremely convienent :) we would return ! Thanks Unique Tailors !

Recommended by a friend. Good to have a tailor that turnsaround quickly given the short stay in the city!
