Why go, and how to do it well
Situated on Na Phlabpla road in central Mueang Krabi, BigBen Krabi is a local supermarket and wholesale store that serves both residents and visitors looking to shop beyond the typical tourist strip. It is regarded by locals as one of the more reliable grocery and general goods destinations in Krabi town, with a broad product selection available at competitive prices.
Shoppers can expect a practical, no-frills supermarket atmosphere with a wide variety of products to browse. The store operates on both a retail and wholesale basis, making it particularly useful for those stocking up on supplies, whether for a villa stay, a longer trip, or everyday household needs. Visitors note that prices tend to run cheaper than comparable stores in the area, and the layout is described as clean and easy to navigate. Staff are generally reported as friendly and approachable.
BigBen Krabi does appear to offer an online ordering option through a third-party delivery app, though some reviewers have experienced stock availability issues with this service. For the most reliable experience, visiting in person is the better option. As specific opening hours are not publicly listed, it is worth checking locally or calling ahead before making a special trip, particularly on public holidays. Having smaller Thai baht notes on hand is advisable, as is the case with most local shops in the region.

Reviews from Google
The location is convenient, the staff is friendly, the goods are cheap, and there are many varieties to choose from. I like shopping here.
It's a local retail and wholesale supermarket, one of the best in Krabi town.
I ordered online through the Orange app and they didn't deliver everything, claiming it was out of stock. I chatted with the admin and they were slow to respond and used harsh language. If it weren't for the fact that my child had already eaten the snacks, I would have cancelled and returned everything. The service was terrible and they even blocked me. Really terrible. 👎👎👎👎👎👎
