Credit Card Fraud on Holiday

in Credit cards
I've just got back from my holiday in Bangkok, the holiday was great but while I was there I went to get some suits made at a Tailors. The first card (an Alliance and Leicester Visa Debit card) that I tried to pay with was 'declined' (according to them) and I ended up paying with another (my Halifax Mastercard).
Now, I've got back to the UK and checked my accounts on-line and they've charged the first card for a couple of hundred pounds.
No-one at the tailors appears to be able to help me (perhaps not surprising) and obviously I feel a bit stupid for having been ripped off/fallen for a scam etc. What are my rights in terms of making a claim with the Alliance and Leicester to reverse the charge? Do I have any rights at all? Has anyone any similar experiences that they can share with me in terms of helping me to get my money back?
Any help would be much appreciated.
