Lek Minimart
Tucked away on an unnamed road in the Ko Kut area of Koh Chang, Lek Minimart serves as a handy local convenience store for both residents and travellers staying in the surrounding area. Its high rating reflects a consistently positive experience, suggesting reliable stock, fair prices, and friendly service that keeps people coming back. Visitors can expect a straightforward minimart format — the kind of neighbourhood shop that covers everyday essentials such as snacks, drinks, basic groceries, and sundry items. For travellers self-catering, stocking up on water and supplies, or simply grabbing something quick between activities, it fills a practical gap that larger resort areas sometimes lack in their immediate surroundings. Good to know: Lek Minimart is open every day of the week from 07:00 to 21:00, making it accessible for early risers picking up breakfast supplies or those returning from a late afternoon excursion. As the address references an unnamed road, travellers are advised to use the plus code HHW8+JWQ in Google Maps to navigate there accurately, particularly if relying on a scooter or taxi on the island.

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.
