Chaloklum Bay and Haad Mae Haad Shopping

Koh Phangan Shopping

Where to Shop and What to Buy in Koh Phangan

One thing is for sure: Koh Phangan is a lot cheaper than Samui when it comes to shopping. And again, Thongsala is cheaper than Haad Rin for the price of goods. However in both beachside towns you’ll find craft shops, jewelry and accessory outlets, hammock shops and, especially for those who come from more restricted cultures, fireworks!

Haad Rin shops and stalls sport lots of overpriced fluorescent Full Moon Party beachwear while smaller beaches such as Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi have typical seaside outlets selling beach balls, flippers and masks, suntan lotion, booze and of course those orange Rizla packets. Handicraft shops dot most of the main routes and are worth stopping at as their one-off products deserve attention while Haad Rin even has a sexy lingerie shop.

Generally speaking, despite most website overenthusiastic blurbs, Koh Phangan is not a shopping destination: Bangkok and Phuket handle that role a lot better, but you can find the basics here if you look around.

Chaloklum and Haad Mae Haad Shopping

Certainly not shopping destinations, Chaloklum and Haad Mae Haad beaches have the basics such as suntan lotion, groceries and beach accessories but for anything more specialist such as handicrafts, textiles and souvenirs you’ll have to head down the road to Thongsala and its myriad of markets, shops and boutiques.

Haad Rin Shopping

Haad Rin is small enough to get around in within one hour on foot. The shopping here is noticeably cheaper than in Samui with all the same items, but still it’s a good idea to barter and haggle prices down anyway, although higher-end shops have fixed prices. Read More...

Haad Yao & Haad Salad Shopping

As this end of the island is so tranquil you won’t find much in the way of shops here. The whole area only features two supermarkets and one of those has ‘resort prices’. Read More...

Thong Nai Pan Noi & Yai Shopping

If you’re in Thong Nai Pan Beach for shopping you’ve gone to the wrong place. Koh Phangan is not the best shopping location in Thailand and Thong Nai Pan is at about the bottom of the shopping list on the island. Sure, you’ll be able to get suntan lotion, beer, ice cream, beach toys, snacks and Rizlas. Read More...

Thong Sala Shopping

Thong Sala really is the shopping hub of the island. With a Tesco Lotus supermarket, a busy afternoon and evening food market, a bustling central market and countless souvenir and handicraft boutiques, you’ll be able to stock up on almost everything on a shopping trip to Thong Sala. Read More...
