7-Eleven
Tucked away on the island of Koh Lipe, this 7-Eleven serves as a reliable pit stop for travellers in need of everyday supplies without the hassle of hunting down a local shop. As one of the few convenience stores on this remote island, it fills a practical gap for visitors who need cold drinks, instant noodles, sunscreen, phone chargers, or a quick snack between beach sessions. Shoppers can expect the standard 7-Eleven layout with refrigerated beverages, grab-and-go food items, basic toiletries, and a small selection of household essentials. Given Koh Lipe's island setting, where supply chains are more limited than on the mainland, prices may reflect the added cost of getting goods to the island. The store operates virtually around the clock, with hours listed as open Sunday through to near midnight, making it a handy option for late-night or early-morning needs. Good to know: because Koh Lipe is a small, relatively isolated island, this store can get busy during peak tourist season, particularly in the mornings and early evenings. Stock levels can vary, so travellers with specific needs — such as particular medications or specialty items — are advised to bring supplies from the mainland rather than relying solely on what is available here.

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.
