Travel Diary - Chiang Mai Day 7 & 8

[kitling]

So we left Cambodia and headed to Thailand. Our first stop in Thailand was Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is the major city in the north of Thailand. A regional centre might be a more accurate term. This was out jumping off point to TECC and tigers. If you wanted to visit hill tribes, villages or jungle trekking in Thailand, this is where you go.

Cool. :)

What was the price like on the clothes, if you don't mind? It's something I've wondered about...

The clothes were not cheap, but then they weren't expensive either given the quality of both the fabrics and tailoring. We spent about $1200 on tailor made clothes. But that was 7 shirts at about $60 each, three piece suit, plus an extra pair of suit pants. So yeah, $60 is about what I'd spent on a nice work shirt here, but the bonus was the tailor made. Properly fitting clothes make a difference. After the initial set up, we went back twice for fitting and adjustments were made to get it 'perfect

For tailor made clothes, that sounds like a great deal - especially for someone who finds it so hard to find clothes that fit properly.

I loved Chiang Mai - definitely the highlight of my trip there. Just so relaxed!
