WATSONS LOTUS'S LAMAI: Click & Collect
Watsons Lotus's Lamai functions as part of a broader shopping complex that acts as a practical one-stop hub for visitors staying in the Lamai area of Koh Samui. While the Watsons store itself stocks the usual range of cosmetics, personal care products, toiletries, and over-the-counter medications, the surrounding Lotus's complex operates more like a small shopping mall, housing a supermarket, food court, KFC, Dunkin' Donuts, Dairy Queen, banks, telecommunications booths, pharmacies, clothing retailers, and souvenir shops.
The supermarket is particularly well-regarded for its range of imported European and American food products — a step up from the convenience store options available elsewhere on the island — though shoppers should expect a price premium on imported goods. The food court offers a solid variety of local and international options, making it easy to combine a grocery run with a meal. Clothing tends to be reasonably priced, and the air-conditioned environment provides welcome relief from the island heat.
The Click & Collect service through Watsons allows travellers to order online and pick up in-store, which is a convenient option for those managing a busy itinerary. The complex opens daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, giving plenty of flexibility for morning or evening visits. For anyone based in or around Lamai, this is a reliable fallback for forgotten toiletries, medications, groceries, or a quick meal without venturing far from the beach.

Reviews from Google
Not a bad Tesco. Good for shopping some european and US staff that you can't find in 7/11
Generally better stocked than the large Tesco in Chawang. (although not always!) For imported foods one always pays a premium price, but it's up to you whether you want to pay the price. It's clean and has a good feel about it. Mall has various merchants and food court. Lots of free parking.
Large Supermarket with other shops inside the building! Its has a KFC, Dunkin Doughnuts, Dairy Queen, bank, food court, pharmacy and several other businesses too. Similar to a small shopping mall. *Tesco doesn't allow sales of any alcohol between 2pm-5pm each day!! The food court inside is independent of Tesco and paid for separately, Very similar prices to the local food places around the town. The supermarket sells electrical, clothing, cosmetics, household, food, drinks and many other products. The place is clean and organised with reasonable shopping hours. They take credit/debit cards which is a bonus. Some items are cheaper than the 7/11 and family mart and some are the same, just a lot more choice usually.

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.
