You could have enough time Simon.
I was in BKK in November and could have had it done in 2 days. I had a good Thai business colleague recommended a tailor, and I was very impressed by the quality!
The tailor shop is called Needle King located on the Sukhumvit Rd between Sukhumvit Soi (Alley) 10- Sukhumvit Soi (Alley) 12.
The owner name is Mr. Roger. This is his English name. The shop telephone number is (66 2) 252 9036. Maybe call them in advance and see if they are open on the public holiday.
The shop is usually open around 12 pm until 8 pm. Just let Mr. Roger know that I recommended you visit him (Ben from Australia – Friend of Amit) and he will look after you. Watch out though, he is an excellent salesman, so you’ll get great clothes, but maybe one more pair of pants than you expected!
What sort of prices and turnaround time are we talking?
Know people getting Armani copy skirts in Hoi An for $100.Mrsdrron got an original at their outlet in Vermont for $US90.We didn't see the value.
I have Brooks Bros shirts for $30,Polo sports jacket for $90 all from the US.I no longer see value in Asia.
However will be in the market for a dinner jacket in BKK the next visit as mrsdrron insists I need a pink one!Unfortunately the only 1 I saw in LOFTAP last time was a size too small-it was a Valentino for $230.Might try Tom's-similiar reccomendations from Thai regulars on FT.
Is Tom's in Bangkok?
