Makro Foodservice

Makro in Koh Samui – Surprisingly Great for Everyday Shopping! Makro on Koh Samui is one of those unexpected gems that truly delivers more than you’d imagine. While it’s known as a wholesale warehouse for businesses, it’s open to everyone—no membership required. With two main locations on the island (Chaweng and Lamai), Makro offers a massive selection of fresh produce, meats, seafood, frozen foods, snacks, beverages, cleaning products, and even electronics and office supplies. The store layout is spacious and well-organized, and despite its “bulk shopping” reputation, many items are available in consumer-friendly portions. Prices are often significantly lower than smaller grocery stores or tourist-area markets, making it ideal for longer stays or self-catering travelers. The quality of meat, cheese, and imported goods is impressive, and there’s even a decent selection of wines and spirits. One of the best parts? Free parking, quick checkouts, and air-conditioning that makes your shopping trip much more comfortable in the tropical heat. Whether you’re stocking up for a villa, running a small business, or just looking to save on everyday essentials, Makro is definitely worth a visit. If you’re staying in Chaweng, Bo Phut, or Lamai, chances are you’re just a short drive away from one of their locations. Many tourists who stumble in expecting just a big-box store leave impressed by the value and variety. Unexpected, yes—but genuinely great.

Lots of variety in the fresh fruit and veg sections, equally good selection of both local and international meats and cheeses. Very reasonable on prices across the store and you can buy things in bulk. The bakery section could be bigger.

Large, well stocked store with limited choices. Good freezer section and among the best liquor prices. This is the best "big box" choice in Koh Samui in my opinion.
