Where to buy clothes in Thailand or India?

Hello:

I have to buy new fashionable suits, ties, shoes, glasses and a watch.

As a student I do not have much money. Therefore I cannot buy new
fashionable suits, shoes, ties etc. here in my country because it is
very expensive and I need not just one suit, one pair of shoes etc.,
but several.

I was thinking to make a short trip to India or Thailand in order to
buy the suits, shoes, ties, glasses and watches cheaply.

Where in India (or Thailand) can I buy them? Can you tell me exact
location? Are they in the same quality like in Europe or North America?

Where in Mumbai, Chennai or Goa can I find such shopping malls where I
can buy fashionable suits and shoes in excellent quality?

Please help me.

Thanks.

Regards,

Haary

Let me make sure I understand this. You want to buy some new clothes.
You want them to look nice. But you're a student so you need to save
money. Have I got this right? Sounds all normal to me. But then you say
that you want to spend a nice chunk of money on a plane ticket so you
can save a few dollars on clothes????????????

Perhaps you should first take a math class and then I think you'll be
able to work it out by yourself.

did he say he would travel by plane? Maybe he lives in Myanmar or Laos,
and can travel across the border by bus or boat?

To the OP:
If yer looking for cheap, high quality suits, I'd recommend you visit
Hoi An in Vietnam instead. You can get quality suits for a quarter the
price of what you would pay in Thailand.

But make sure you stock up on a sufficient amount of clothes to warrant
the travelling distance.

Mumbai, India is excellent for clothes, shoes etc. The main streets around
The Gateway area are good hunting grounds for department stores. Only
problem though can be finding clothes that fit if you are a six foot tall
Westerner with big feet as the average size in Asia is obviously smaller.
As a person with UK size 11 feet, I was not able to find a pair of shoes to
fit me.

Don't bother about my math skills or how much or whether I would have
to pay a lot for a ticket, Tchiowa. I am going to graduate from college
next months, therefore I need to buy suits, ties etc. Just focus on my
question regarding where I can buy suits etc. cheaply.

Thanks, Stimp. I have heard that labour costs are much lower in
Vietnam. When I make a trip to Bangkok, I could visit Hoi An in
Vietnam. Are these quality suits from Hugo Boss and other big names?

As I am regarding my trip as holiday travelling to the destination is
okay for me.

@ Andrew T. Austin: I am 6"2 tall, but so are many Indians. When I made
some research about prices on ebay.in and other Indian websites I have
noticed that prices are the same like in USA or Europe. How is that
possiblle?

I am also looking for a nice watch. I have heard that in Shanghai/China
I can buy $20.000 Rolex for just $20 and that the quality would be
almost the same. Can I buy such watches in India or Thailand, too?

I dono about Thailand (Im due to go there soon) but I know in India it
is cheaper to get clothes tailor made for you. Custom fitting ensures
that you'll look good in them. I know a number of people who fly over to
these types of countries and get a new set of suits etc every year.

my advise would be to get them made for you rather than buying them as
they will be very cheap and you can specify exactly what you want.

Iv heard about casual clothes being cheap in Thailand but not about
formal stuff specifically if you do find out let me know where.

well they're made in Hoi An, like, so they're not the same ones that are
shipped to Milan, etc (or maybe they are come to think of it).

But, yeah, you can get an exact replica of pretty much any suit you
like. And in the highest quality kashmir or cotton.
If you bring along a photo of a suit you would like to copy, they can
copy it for you in a few hours.

My experience was that I was sat down at a table and the latest Armani
catalogue was placed in front of me. I selected two suits that I liked,
in kashmir wool, and within 1 day I had them finished.

30 US dollars each. Nice.

I know you can get fake watches in Dubai (well you USED to), but the
quality is atrocious.

You will find many cheap watches in India, but you get what you pay for -
imitations are very poor quality and really not worth the price. There are
lots and lots of shops selling a mix of genuine and look alike time pieces.
Buy only the genuine ones - you will save *some* money, but not a great
deal, but you will get the quality.

He posted from Germany. I looked. Did you?

Are you serious? How can a fake Rolex be the same quality as the original? Most
of those that you can buy in Thailand don't even look like one (that is, if you
know what a Rolex looks like). If you want to impress anyone, forget it. If
you're looking for a nice, suitable watch that might or might not keep for a
while - a fake is more like 4 USD, not 20. Of course, the whole thing is
illegal. :-)
