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.

Why go, and how to do it well
Rent a villa with a kitchen and you'll save a small fortune here rather than piecing meals together from 7-Eleven. It's a full hypermarket in Maret, with fresh produce, butchery, a seafood counter, bakery, big frozen section, household goods and a serious wall of alcohol. Most things sell both retail and in bulk, which is where the value sits. The catch is that snacks like crisps and chocolate often come in multi-packs sized for a family, not a couple on vacation.
Best trick in the place is the seafood counter. Pick your fish, take it to the scale table and ask them to clean it, no charge. The bakery does fresh sweet bread that people keep mentioning, and there's barbecued chicken ready to go if you want dinner without cooking. This isn't a browsing destination, it's a stock-up run, so go once at the start of your stay and get it done.

Reviews from Google
It's very good supermarket. Very nice seafood, butchery even bakery. As well Macro has ATM and and a lot parking lot. Recommend to visit there for shopping. Don't forget, you can order to clean a seafood for free. Just pick up a fish and go to scale table. There salesman will help you, just ask to clean fish.
Makro in Koh Samui is a great place to shop, especially if you’re staying somewhere with a kitchen. There’s a huge selection of products, and the fresh produce section is particularly impressive. Everything looks well organized and the store itself has a clean, modern feel. If you’re planning to cook at home during your stay, this is definitely the place to stock up. Great variety, good quality, and plenty of choice.
A really big store that has the most of wath you need. Best is that you can by in bulk. Really good bread section. Amazing vegetable section, lots of fresh meat produce. Bigg frozen sektion. The negative is that the don't take creditcard, you must have cash with you.

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.
