Koh Mak Minimart
Tucked away on the quiet and relatively undeveloped island of Koh Mak, this small minimart serves as a practical stop for travellers needing to restock on basic supplies. As one of the accessible retail options on the island, it fills an important role for those staying at nearby resorts or guesthouses, offering everyday items that can otherwise be difficult to source on a small island with limited infrastructure. Visitors can expect a compact, no-frills store carrying a typical selection of snacks, drinks, water, toiletries, and household goods. It caters primarily to the day-to-day needs of both tourists and local residents, making it a useful point of reference for anyone settling in for an extended stay on the island. The relaxed island pace is reflected in the shopping experience itself, which is low-key and straightforward. Good to know: the minimart is open every day of the week from 08:00 to 22:30, which is a reliable and generous set of hours given the island's remote character. Travellers arriving on Koh Mak by ferry are advised to pick up any supplies they may need early in their stay, as options elsewhere on the island are limited. Carrying some cash is recommended, as card payment facilities may not always be available at small island shops of this type.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
