Makro Koh Samui

4.4(1,137 reviews)

This warehouse-style wholesale outlet in Bo Put serves both residents and visiting travellers looking to stock up on groceries, fresh produce, household supplies, and packaged goods at bulk pricing. It is particularly well suited to those staying in villas or serviced apartments on Koh Samui who prefer self-catering over eating out for every meal. The wide product range covers everything from fresh meat and seafood to toiletries, cleaning products, and imported goods, with many items sold in small bulk quantities rather than single units. The shopping environment is functional and no-frills, catering to practical shoppers rather than tourists. Visitor feedback highlights strong service in some departments, particularly at the butchery counter, though the fish counter has drawn complaints about wait times and inconsistent queuing. Some reviews have also raised concerns about hygiene standards in the fresh and frozen sections, and there have been specific comments about baked goods being re-dated and resold. Travellers with particular standards around food freshness may wish to keep this in mind and inspect products carefully before purchasing. Good to know: The store opens daily at 6am and stays open until 11pm, giving plenty of flexibility across a full week. Early morning visits tend to offer a quieter experience. A Makro membership card is typically required for entry, so it is worth checking current requirements via the official website before making the trip out.

Visitor Reviews

I would like to thank Mister Toey ( เต้ย ) who works in Makro's butchery section. He is very kind, attentive, and very responsible. I would like to deeply thank you for your service, เต้ย. To Makro: please know that this kind of person is very much needed and please do know that more than just one of your employees, someone like him deserves to be seen. His service mind is exceptionally valuable. I am so happy and glad he helped with everything 👍👍👍

Wholesale outlet for food and general household/hotel supplies. They have a wide selection of products to choose from, many of which are only sold in small bulk. Most of the food products can be bought individually and usually you will find one of the more better prices on the island in terms of supermarket shopping.

Dirty shop especially where fresh meat and frozen stuff are. Freezer are full of ice , and you can see products have been defrost and frozen again. Makro lamai is more trustable in terms of hygiene Need to be renovated , freezer change,..... Cooking and catering stuff is poor and offering no professional stuff. I go there if I have no choice and never buy fresh products ...

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.
