Beautiful Thai silk shirts depicting elephants etc.?

Post by Davidhen »

Last year I bought some beautiful, very colourful, Thai silk, short-sleeved shirts (off-the-peg) in a "government shop" in downtown Phuket. They had depictions of elephants and floating markets, among other things adorning them. Does anyone know where I might buy something similar here, in Hua Hin? I have already tried the Thai Silk Village by Mike the tailors but they don't do anything so "loud" and colourful. Many thanks.

Not sure of the name , but the shop that is in Villas parking lot downstairs from the salon might have that. They also custom make shirts.

Sorry to be a pain, but where exactly is "Villas parking lot?"

In front of Villa Market, next to San Paulo Hospital.
This is the way

I haven't looked, but I would expect you might find those at Thai Silk Village on Nebkahardt Road as it is owned by Mike and Co., one of the biggest and oldest tailors in Hua Hin. The restaurant out front is one of the best upper class Thai restaurants in town too, if you don't mind the prices (mid priced royal Thai food similar to Kor Sor).
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Thanks, but I already tried that shop.
