Take in Simon Cabaret in Phuket, although not up to West End standards, it is an entertaining show for �10/head.
Last time I was out there, I had a made-to-measure suit (in a fine check patterned material) made by one of the tailors in Patong Beach. The quality & finish are second to none, with the pattern �lining up� in all the right places, and for less than �50.
If you are going to buy a suit, take your time to look closely at examples made by the tailor.
This particular tailor rented out space in front of his shop to a trader who was selling fake CDs. At around 8pm one evening, the trader was packing up his wares for the evening. I asked the tailor why he was finishing so early. He replied that the trader had not paid a bribe to the local police and so they were coming to raid his stall. However, he had paid another police officer to tell him when the police were going to raid his stall.
One final piece of advice, airlines are getting mean with their baggage allowances � if you plan to bring stuff back, travel out light.
My above sterling prices were based on an exchange rate of 70 Bhat to the � - the rate is currently around 50 Bhat to the �, resulting in a 40% increase to my prices.
