Tourist Trap: Modern Style Limited Tailor
  • Tip Rating:
  • In Phuket there are a lot of tailors ready to make you a nice suit for a very cheap price. And no doubt, there are some honest and good working people amongst them.
    But if you decide to go to "Modern Style Limited", then don't. They are situated at Patong Beach, on Bangla Rd, Viking Corner. They promised to make us a shirt with a text upon it that we had chosen. When we came to pick it up, they told us that we should wait for another 2 hours, because it wasn't ready yet. Ok, that can happen, so we waited. When we got back, it still wasn't ready. We couldn't wait any longer and we asked to see the result so far. Briefly, nothing had been done!!! Luckily, we didn't pay yet.
    We decided to go to another tailor in Hua Hin and this time everything was done as asked!

    At Least Do This: Difficult to tell if someone is honest or not. Anyway, put it perfectly clear that, if the result isn't like it should be, you won't pay.

    And if you have the opportunity, go to Bangkok to have a suit made. Better quality and prices!

     Sorry for being a bit harsh. I was frustrated at reading so many peoples tips on Phuket that were empty or inaccurate.
