Review of Shinawatra Thai Silk from Frommer's

This is an outlet of the high-quality Bangkok chain, rivaled only by Jim Thompson's in Bangkok. Shinawatra sells handwoven and hand-painted silk and cotton by the meter, a wide range of men's and women's conservative silk fashions, cushions, drapery, ties, and dozens of silk accessories; it also does custom tailoring. A man's aloha shirt in brightly patterned silk costs 1,400B ($56). One square meter (1.2 square yards) of two-ply silk is 600B ($24); upholstery-grade silk 750B ($30).
