Honestly, it would probably cost about the same.

Once you've done it once you can also have your suits made and sent to you, with very high quality materials and tailoring. $2,500 for one suit is just such poor value.
Honestly, I have pretty good quality Bangkok suits and Hugo Boss suits that cost me 10X more and the difference is pretty obvious. I'm sure there are tailors in Bangkok that can do a better job, but in general the quality of the fabric and the tailoring of a 4 figure suit is going to win that comparison hands down.
