Mother Marche Supermarket 14 (เกาะลันตา)
Conveniently located in the Sala Dan area of Koh Lanta, Mother Marche Supermarket 14 is a practical grocery and shopping stop for travellers settling into island life. Whether stocking up a villa kitchen, grabbing snacks for a beach day, or picking up household essentials, this supermarket covers everyday needs without requiring a trip to the mainland. Visitors can expect a straightforward supermarket experience with a reasonable selection of fresh produce, packaged goods, beverages, and general merchandise. It serves both the local community and the steady flow of tourists who call Koh Lanta home for weeks or months at a time, giving it a relaxed, neighbourhood feel rather than a tourist-oriented atmosphere. Good to know: the supermarket is open seven days a week from 08:00 to 21:00, making it easy to fit a shopping run around a full day of island activities. Its location in Sala Dan, the main hub at the northern end of Koh Lanta, means it is accessible whether arriving by ferry or travelling from accommodations further down the island. Those staying in more remote parts of Koh Lanta may want to plan their visit in combination with other errands in the area.

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.
