Does anyone have recommendations for an expert tailor in Hoi An or Bankok via the internet?

I am looking for an excellent tailor in either Hoi An or Bankok that would be able to custom tailor a new wardrobe for me via the internet.
I will not be able to make it overseas for the next 2 years, and I would like to get started soon with ordering etc. If anyone has links of places that they can personally recommend, I would appreciate it. I will be asking for more than simple suits and dresses, so anyone with superior tailoring skills that could be recommended would be appreciated.
A place with a website or email address is preffered.

Rajawongse Clothier is the place you're looking for. They recommend you come in personally, but they do offer service via email.
While I haven't yet had any suits made there, I plan to. This is where both Bushes, John Kerry, Tom Ridge and [shudder] Nancy Regan have their clothes made in Bangkok (or so says USA Today).

Response by poster: In Vietnam or Thailand, a men's suit 3 piece made of nice material would be around $70 USD.
I am a novice tailor and will be able to send all my exact measurements and my own materials with detailed instructions. So that I am not too worried about, I just want someone who will be reliable through internet purchases.

Don't worry though, the sweatshops tied to bespoke tailors can crank out your clothes in a matter of hours, I kid you not.
That said, if you must, you can try Embassy Fashion House or their rival Ambassador Fashion House.
