Suiting Up
One thing for sure is that just about everything is less expensive here than in the U.S., even more so when compared to Los Angeles. I had my camera and computer gear stashed in my checked luggage, so I only arrived with 5 days' worth of clothes, and most of that was workout attire; no dress clothes at all. Before I left Los Angeles, I made an appointment at the best tailor shop in Bangkok. The customer service is first-rate, and the prices for custom-made clothing are the same as off-the-rack items in Los Angeles, so why not? Tailor on 10 Bangkok.
