Maenam, Ko Samui
Tailor in Maenam, Koh Samui: get measured where you are staying
You do not have to leave Maenam to be measured. We bring the tape and the fabric books to your hotel or villa in Maenam, and the workshop is along the same north coast in Fisherman's Village when you would rather come to us.
The short answer: you do not have to travel. We measure at hotels and villas anywhere on Ko Samui at no extra charge, Maenam included, and bring the fabric books with us.
We fit at your hotel or villa in Maenam
This is the real answer for Maenam, so it comes first. Free hotel and villa pickup and in-home consultations anywhere on Ko Samui is a standing part of what we do, not a favour asked for, and it covers Maenam like everywhere else on the island. Maenam sits along the same north coast as our shop, so the workshop is there if you want to see it, but a fitting at your hotel or villa in Maenam saves you the trip entirely. We bring the fabric books, take the measurements where you are staying in Maenam, and you choose cloth without moving.
Maenam is a quieter stretch of the north coast and a lot of stays here are villas rather than hotels, which suits this arrangement well: a villa has space and time, and a fitting by the pool is no harder for us than one in the shop. Message us on WhatsApp with the name of your hotel or villa in Maenam and the times you are free, and we will confirm a slot. Evening fittings in Maenam are normal, because we work until 23:00.
Getting to Fisherman's Village from Maenam
If you would rather come from Maenam to see the workshop, the shop is at 79/7, Bo Put, Fisherman's Village, Bophut, and it is open every day from 10:00 to 23:00. Coming from Maenam, the landmark is easier than the address: we are opposite Happy Elephant restaurant, in the middle of Fisherman’s Village.
Maenam and Bophut sit along the same northern coast, so most people staying here come across by taxi or scooter along the coast road. We deliberately do not quote a journey time, because it depends on where in Maenam you are staying, the time of day and what is happening in the village that evening — and a made-up number is worse than none. If you want one before you set off from Maenam, ask us on WhatsApp and we will give you the honest current answer rather than an average.
What can be finished inside your stay
For a stay in Maenam, the thing worth knowing is not how fast we can go, but which garment fits the days you actually have left.
| Garment | Realistic turnaround |
|---|---|
| Made-to-measure shirts | Often the same day |
| Alterations and repairs | Usually the same day, often while you wait |
| Trousers | Same day to next day |
| A two-piece suit | Two to four days, with a fitting in between |
| Three-piece, dinner suit or a wedding party | Start on arrival |
Those windows assume you come early in the day rather than late in the evening, and they include a fitting on your body — at your villa in Maenam or in the shop — which is the step we will not skip. Tell us your flight date at the first visit and we will tell you which row of that table you are actually choosing from. What we can finish the same day sets out where the days go, garment by garment.
Auf Deutsch — Schneider für Maenam
Wir beraten und messen auch auf Deutsch. Wenn Sie in Maenam wohnen, kommen wir zu Ihrem Hotel oder Ihrer Villa, bringen die Stoffbücher mit und nehmen Maß vor Ort — kostenlos, überall auf Ko Samui. Die Werkstatt liegt in Fisherman’s Village in Bophut, an derselben Nordküste wie Maenam, und ist täglich von 10:00 bis 23:00 geöffnet. Hemden sind oft am selben Tag fertig, ein Anzug braucht einige Tage mit einer Anprobe dazwischen. Alles Weitere auf Deutsch steht auf unserer Seite Schneiderei auf Koh Samui.
What we make
- How a bespoke suit is cut here — two-piece and three-piece, cut for the heat rather than for a European winter.
- Made-to-measure shirts — the quickest real garment we make, and the usual answer to a short stay.
- Wedding and groom’s outfits — Maenam and the north coast take a lot of villa weddings.
- Tuxedos and dinner suits — for black tie that has a date on it.
- Women’s tailoring and dressmaking — suits, dresses and separates cut to measure.
- Alterations and repairs — on garments you brought with you.
Judging a tailor you have not walked past
Staying in Maenam means you will probably choose a tailor before you ever see the place, which is a harder thing to do well, so the useful signals are the ones you can check yourself. We are rated 5.0 from 596 Google reviews, and every one of them is a real customer you can read — all 596 reviews, each linking to Google rather than a number printed on our own page.
Before you book from Maenam, ask the questions that separate tailoring from selling: will there be a fitting on your body before the garment is finished, who is actually cutting it, and what happens if it needs adjusting after you have worn it once. A shop that answers those plainly is telling you how it works. One that answers only with a price and a deadline is telling you something too.
Where we come to you on Ko Samui
The shop is in Fisherman's Village, Bophut, open daily until 23:00. If you are staying elsewhere on the island, you do not need to travel: we offer free hotel and villa pickup and in-home consultations anywhere on Ko Samui, so a fitting can happen at your resort with the fabric books brought to you.
- Fisherman's Village, Bophut — Where the shop is — walk in any day until 23:00.
- Chaweng — Samui's biggest hotel strip, about 20 minutes from the shop.
- Lamai — Second-largest resort area, on the south-east coast.
- Maenam — Quieter north coast, popular for villa stays and weddings.
- Choeng Mon — Resorts and private villas on the north-east headland.
- Big Buddha (Bang Rak) — Minutes from the pier and the airport road.
- Bang Por & Lipa Noi — West coast, for villa fittings and sunset weddings.
- Nathon — The main town and ferry port on the west side.

Common questions
Do you come to hotels and villas in Maenam?
Yes. A fitting at your hotel or villa in Maenam is free, the same as anywhere on Ko Samui, and we bring the fabric books so you can choose cloth where you are staying. Message us on WhatsApp with the name of your hotel or villa in Maenam and the times you are free, and we will confirm a slot, evenings included, because we work until 23:00 every day. If you would rather see the workshop, it is in Fisherman's Village in Bophut, along the same north coast as Maenam.
How far is your shop from Maenam?
Our shop is in Fisherman's Village in Bophut, on the same north coast as Maenam rather than across the island. We deliberately do not quote a journey time, because it depends on where in Maenam you are staying, the time of day and what is happening in Fisherman's Village that evening, and a made-up number is worse than none. Ask us on WhatsApp before you set off from Maenam and we will give you the honest current answer. Or skip the trip: we measure at your hotel or villa in Maenam at no charge.
Can you make outfits for a villa wedding in Maenam?
Yes. Maenam and the north coast take a lot of villa weddings, and we make wedding and groom's outfits, including for a wedding party. For a Maenam wedding, start on arrival: a three-piece, a dinner suit or a party's worth of outfits needs the days a single shirt does not, and every garment gets a fitting on the wearer before it is finished. The measuring can happen at the villa in Maenam rather than in the shop; see wedding and groom's outfits for what we make for a wedding.
What can be finished during a stay in Maenam?
During a stay in Maenam, made-to-measure shirts are often finished the same day, alterations and repairs usually the same day, trousers the same day or the next, and a two-piece suit in two to four days with a fitting in between, while a three-piece, a dinner suit or a wedding party should start on arrival. Those windows assume you begin early in your stay in Maenam, and they include a fitting on your body, which is the step we will not skip.
Can you get clothes made in Koh Samui?
Yes, and having them made is different from buying them. We cut made-to-measure shirts, suits, wedding and groom's outfits, tuxedos, women's tailoring and dressmaking in our own workshop in Fisherman's Village, and we alter and repair garments you already own. Your measurements are taken on you rather than picked from a size chart, and the garment is fitted on your body before it is finished. If you are in Maenam, that measuring can happen at your hotel or villa instead of in the shop.
Is it worth getting a tailored suit in Thailand?
It is worth it when the tailoring is genuine and the schedule is honest, and that is the part worth checking rather than the country. Ask how many fittings are included, what the construction is, and whether the timeline you are being quoted leaves room to correct the garment after you have tried it on. A suit made without a fitting on your body is not bespoke whatever it is called. We would rather tell you a deadline is too tight than hand you something that hangs badly a month later — see what we can finish the same day for the honest per-garment timeline.
Do you measure and advise in German in Maenam?
Yes. We advise and measure in German as well as in English, and the visit to your hotel or villa in Maenam is the same free visit we make anywhere on Ko Samui. Message us on WhatsApp with where you are staying in Maenam and the dates you are here, and we will agree a time. If you would rather come in, the workshop in Fisherman's Village is open every day from 10:00 to 23:00.
When should I book if my stay in Maenam is short?
Book as early in your stay as you can. The turnaround windows on this page assume you begin early, and they include a fitting on your body, at your villa in Maenam or in the shop, which is the step we will not skip. A three-piece, a dinner suit or a wedding party should start on arrival. Tell us your flight date at the first visit and we will tell you which row of the turnaround table you are actually choosing from.
