Go To Bangkok If You Want to Feel Rich

I just got back from visiting my tailor.

That’s a sentence I don’t get to say every day!

But in Bangkok, it’s quite normal.

There’s a tailor on every corner.

Walk in off the street and they will treat you like a king.

“Have a seat, sir.” “Can I offer you a drink, sir?” “What kind of fabric did you have in mind, sir?”

And you don’t have to be rich, either.

I just ordered four new shirts.

I picked the most expensive fabric — Egyptian cotton.

The price?

2,000 baht per shirt.

Or €52.

While in Prague, I’ve paid 2,000 kc (€82) for an off-the-rack dress shirt.

So next time you need to go shopping, come to Bangkok!
