I — Finding the shop
Exit 3 and 4
The shop is inside the station rather than on the street, so you never leave the concourse to reach it. It sits on the ticket-hall level, in front of the ticket office, between the two exits facing Rama I Road.
From MBK Center
- Take the skywalk towards National Stadium station.
- Enter the station at Exit 4 and stay on that level.
- Fifty metres along, in front of the ticket office.
From Siam and the Skywalk
One stop west on the Silom line, or ten minutes along the skywalk. Come down at Exit 3 and the shop is immediately on your right.

IV — What it costs
What it costs
A suit starts from 6,000 THB, and in premium cloth it runs from 12,000 to 22,000 THB. Trousers start from 2,000 THB and shirts from 1,200 THB. The cloth decides most of what a suit costs, and you have the exact figure before anything is cut — what sets the price explains what moves it, and the six packages include a suit and two shirts for 7,000 THB.

My entire family made suits and shirts with The Loft Tailors. Very good value and Mr Sun was very helpful with the whole process. The turnaround was extremely quick, and the shop is located at the station next to MBK which is really convenient. Will definitely return!

Had a very good experience having my first ever suit made by The Loft Tailors. Since we were just transiting via Bangkok during the start and end of our trip, wasn't sure if it was enough time to have a suit made. Turns out, it is possible with the Loft Tailors! ☺️ They were very professional and transparent with the process. Also very easy to get in touch with and very responsive.
Your pattern is kept
The paper pattern cut to your measurements stays here after the first suit, so a second order starts at the cloth rather than the tape measure —your pattern, and why it is kept.

VII — Questions people ask
- How long does a suit take?
- Two to three days on the bench, with two fittings as standard, and twelve hours if you are flying out. The calendar around the making depends on when you can come back for the fittings. Most people are measured on one visit, fitted a few days later and collect after the second. Tell us your dates at the order rather than at the end, and the timetable is planned backwards from them.
- Do I need an appointment?
- No. Walk in any day between 10am and 9pm, including weekends. The shop is inside BTS National Stadium station at exits 3 and 4, beside MBK Center. Messaging first on WhatsApp is worth it if you are on a deadline, bringing several people, or want an answer to something before you travel. The number is 085 048 7655.
- Where exactly are you?
- Inside BTS National Stadium station, on the ticket-hall level, in front of the ticket office, between Exit 3 and Exit 4 on Rama I Road in Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, beside MBK Center. You do not leave the station to reach it, which is the part people get wrong: come up to the station level and the shop is at the exits rather than on the street below. From the middle of MBK Center it is about six minutes on foot (Google Maps).
- What does a suit cost?
- From 6,000 THB, and from 12,000 to 22,000 THB in premium cloth; trousers start from 2,000 THB and shirts from 1,200 THB. The cloth is the largest variable and the one you choose, so handling the books is how you move the figure. A suit and two shirts is 7,000 THB as a package, and you have the exact figure before anything is cut.
- Do you make clothes for women?
- Yes. Suits, shirts and trousers, measured and cut from a pattern drafted for your body the same way as the men’s, with two fittings as standard, and wedding dress alterations too. Nothing is a men’s block resized. Ask on WhatsApp before you travel whether a woman on the team can take the measurements. Bring the shoes you will wear with whatever is being made, because length and break are set against a heel height.
