- Rita VMelbourne, Australia10 contributionsGreat open air market, making it more bearable in the heat. Goods selection of items/souvenirs and food. Open Tuesday and Friday. Worth a visit. Don’t miss the donuts near the main entrance, they are delicious!Written December 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MumMelbourne, Australia49 contributionsGreat range, great food and great atmosphere. Be warned the heat in the shopping area. Our 11 year old fainted (this has NEVER happened before despite multiple holidays to south east asia). The market is a great set up and the orange uniform makes it easy to feel relaxed and trust the hygiene and quality of the foods as it feels well organised and hygiene is enforced.Written May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I had a two-piece suit and two shirts made here, pricing was good and the fit and finish of everything was exceptional.
The guys here were very professional and helpful (even recommending local restaurants) and very friendly to.
There was a good range of materials available, and plenty of catalogues to look at, so they could get you something if it wasn’t on the shelf.
If you are in Kata do yourself a favour and get Simon to make you a suit (even if you don’t really need one)!Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

At street level at the front there are a number of kiosks selling fruit, dealing with money exchange and Travel Agents.
Some of the restaurants on the higher level have views over Karon Lake at the rear of the complex.
As well as the restaurants there is also a 7 eleven supermarket, a massage shop.
We only visited because we were passing and checked out the exchange rates in the kiosks.Written February 24, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- greenhideDalby, Australia65 contributionsThe most amazing service. We had a dinner suit, a coat, 3 shirts a ladies jacket and 2 ladies tops made. Not all ordered on the same day. Ram was absolutely fantastic, the ladies jacket had to be adjusted twice and nothing was too much for them.
Thank you to Amorn, Renu, Ram and the team.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We walked past the shop at least 4 times throughout the day and it remained closed even though the sign said opened. There were a couple of items I wanted to purchase from here. I ended up purchasing else where.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Joe_FsadniSydney, Australia13 contributionsWe were walking around looking for a tailor in the Kata / Karon area and I have to say that Mr. Rocky was not pushy (like Patong and Bangkok) and took the time to show and explain their range of material. I decided to go with Mr. Rocky because of his great fabric, lovely nature and experience. I am extremely happy I did as the shirts fit perfectly, and they were made in only 2 days.Written February 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Johannes S1 contributionAnthony is a true professional in his own game. I have known him and his business for almost 15 years now and can truly recommend him. He is always extremely nice, while being an utmost professional. I can warmly recommend all his tailoring services!Written August 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Off their PManchester, UK4,015 contributionsAbout the only thing that we liked from this place was the fact that it is close to the beach! It is a hot, sweaty undercover market selling lots of fakes at rip-off prices.
The traders are quite often rude and I think it is generally best avoided.Written November 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My wife liked her coat so much she decided to have another one which amazingly was produced in 36hrs and it fitted perfectly. All three items are excellent and top quality.
I can highly recommend Kata Universal CollectionWritten July 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Neil L7 contributionsI urgently needed some high quality suits and Tailor Pro was recommended by a friend, so I dropped by the shop and spent an hour talking with the owner Raju about the suits I wanted to have made, when I needed them by and reviewed an extensive range of materials.
I immediately realised I was dealing with an exceptionally experienced tailor and was in very safe hands, so I took the plunge and ordered 4 suits (in different materials/colours) with an extra pair of pants for each and 15 shirts (mix of straight point collars with french cuffs, and button down collars with square cuffs, in 6 different materials/colours).
Although Raju’s process allows for several fitting sessions and unlimited adjustments until you’re 100% satisfied, to my utter amazement every suit and shirt fitted flawlessly based on the original measurements and my verbal guidance as to how I wanted them to fit. Not a single adjustment was required. Unbelievably impressive, and a testament to the 30 years that Raju has been operating in Phuket.
I can’t speak highly enough of Raju and the team at Tailor Pro. They are masters of their craft. I’ve asked Raju to keep my measurements so that I can place orders remotely going forward.
. Quality 10/10
. Value for money 10/10
. Service 10/10
. Turnaround time 10/10
. Likelihood of purchasing other items in the future - 100%
As if that wasn’t enough, the Sushi and Indian restaurants on either side of Tailor Pro are outstanding :)Written November 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
