Big C Supercenter Krabi

4.2(2,162 reviews)

Located on Phet Kasem Road in central Krabi, Big C Supercenter serves as the town's primary large-format shopping destination, drawing both locals and travellers looking to stock up efficiently in a single stop. The store covers a broad range of categories, including fresh produce, packaged Thai foods, imported goods, toiletries, clothing, household items, and beach supplies, making it particularly useful for those staying in self-catering accommodation or preparing for island day trips. Inside, the store is spacious and air-conditioned, with clearly organised sections that are easy to navigate even on a first visit. The mix of local Thai products and familiar international brands appeals to longer-stay travellers who want both the practicality of recognisable items and the opportunity to browse local snacks and ingredients. It functions as a reliable errand stop rather than a leisure destination, but its central location makes it straightforward to combine with other activities in the Krabi town area. Good to know: Big C is open every day of the week from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, fitting comfortably around most travel schedules. The store tends to get busier during evenings and on weekends, so visiting mid-morning or early afternoon generally makes for a quicker and calmer experience.

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.
