Getting Your Wedding Suit Made in Bangkok: Full Timeline

Question answered: “Should I get my wedding suit made in Bangkok?”

By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated

Yes, Bangkok is a good place to have a wedding suit made, if you give it time. Ideally have your first appointment a week or more before the wedding, or on a trip months ahead, with at least two fittings. Choose the fabric for the venue's climate, and order shoes and shirts together so everything matches.
