Where to Rent/Buy
​
-
Doodeedress Siam- Nearby shop for traditional Thai outfit rentals. You can visit in person if you’ll be in Bangkok early, but please note that the shop is closed on Sundays and requires 2 days’ notice to prepare an outfit for delivery or pickup. You can also let us know in advance, and we can coordinate a rental with the store on your behalf.
-
The Old Siam Plaza- Small mall with many vendors offering traditional and contemporary Thai clothing. Located directly across from the Sam Yot MRT station, it’s easy to access and a great option if you prefer to purchase good-quality pieces you can wear again rather than rent.
