I have suits and shirts from both HK and Thailand.
When in HK my family typically buys from EMPIRE Tailor in TST, and have been going there for the last 10-15 years, overall the service is decent and quality is good. Always throws me off hearing an indian guys speak perfect cantonese.
But depending on the time you go, the selection of fabric can vary. We typically get our shirts from $35cdn - $55 each depending on fabric, buying 3-5 shirts at a time. Suits were from $350 plain thin black suit for summer -> $700 for a cashmere blend wool being the higher end. They typically take 5 days with 2 fittings in between. The signed prices in the store are always higher, typically for the tourists walk-ups. Can give you names if you want referrals.
Was in Thailand in 2010 and went to JAMES Fashion, buddy and I were travelling and we had a Tuk-Tuk driver take us there. My buddy wanted to get a couple suits and shirts, so I tagged along. After haggling a bit with the sales guy, and telling him I usually get stuff in HK he gave us both a deal to get the business.
$500cdn got me 2 suits (mid-level quality) , and 5 dress shirts (basic quality)
$700cdn got my buddy 3 suits and 7 shirts (same mid and basic quality as mine)
Now here is where i'll give them some credit, we told them we were leaving in 3 days and they agreed they would get it done. We did not want to travel back and forth for the second fitting, so they agreed they would come to our hotel! So initial measurements were done at the store, and later that night they showed up to the hotel for a fitting check. Two guys came, i assume one was the tailor, and the other the scooter driver. Next day in the evening they showed up again with the finished product, mine fit as I liked it. My buddies pants still needed some touch up, so off they went with his pant, and were delivered the next morning to the front desk.
Fast forward to today, the suits from both shops are still intact and I wear them as needed. As for the dress shirts, you get what you pay for, the cheaper shirts are pilling and faded now in color, couple buttons here and there have come apart. But to have a custom shirt fitted and monogrammed is very much worth while.
HAve fun !
