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

Pen Wholesale Supermarket is a practical and popular shopping stop on Koh Tao, catering to the island's mix of long-term residents, dive instructors, and travelers stocking up on essentials. As one of the more substantial supermarkets on this small island, it offers a broader range of products than many of the convenience stores scattered around the coast, making it a reliable option for those self-catering or restocking supplies during an extended stay.

Visitors can expect a straightforward, no-frills wholesale supermarket atmosphere with a functional layout and a decent selection of groceries, snacks, beverages, and household goods. Given the island's remote location in the Gulf of Thailand, having access to a well-supplied store like this is genuinely useful, particularly for those renting bungalows or staying in accommodation with kitchen facilities.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

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.

Claim Your VAT Refund

Spend 2,000+ THB at a single store displaying 'VAT Refund for Tourists' signs, get a yellow form at the register, and claim 7% VAT back at the airport. It adds up fast on bigger purchases.
