Lanta Mart (ลันตามาร์ท)
Situated in the Saladan area at the northern tip of Koh Lanta, Lanta Mart is a neighbourhood supermarket that serves as a practical stop for both residents and travellers stocking up on daily essentials. Its central location in Saladan makes it easily accessible for those arriving by ferry or exploring the island's main commercial strip. Shoppers can expect to find a straightforward selection of groceries, snacks, beverages, and household goods typical of a local convenience-style market. The atmosphere is unpretentious and functional, catering primarily to everyday needs rather than souvenir hunting or specialty shopping. It is a reliable option for picking up water, fresh supplies, or pantry staples before heading to more remote parts of the island. Good to know: Lanta Mart is open seven days a week from 08:00 to 18:00, so visitors should plan to arrive well before closing, particularly if travelling from the southern beaches where the drive to Saladan can take time. Those renting bungalows or longer-stay accommodation on the island will find it a useful regular stop. For the latest updates on stock or any changes to hours, the store maintains a Facebook page that can be checked in advance.

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.
