MG Minimart
Tucked away on the laid-back island of Koh Kut, MG Minimart serves as a reliable stop for travellers and locals alike looking to pick up everyday supplies without venturing far. As one of the accessible shopping options on this relatively quiet island, it fills an important practical role for those staying nearby who need snacks, drinks, toiletries, or other essentials during their time on the island. The shop keeps consistent hours across all seven days of the week, opening at 9:00am and staying open until 10:00pm, which gives visitors plenty of flexibility to stop in around beach trips, boat tours, or evening meals. This kind of dependable availability is particularly useful on Koh Kut, where shopping options are more limited than on larger Thai islands. For those planning a stay on Koh Kut, it is worth noting MG Minimart's location using the plus code JGMX+CXP, as the island's roads and signage can be tricky to navigate for first-time visitors. Stopping in during the morning or early afternoon tends to offer the most relaxed experience. No website is currently available, so it is best to plan around the standard daily hours rather than calling ahead.

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.
