Why go, and how to do it well

Come here to stock up, not to sightsee. The Lotus's hypermarket is the anchor, and around it sits the usual Thai complex logic of food court, restaurants including Swensens, KFC and MK, cafes, bakeries, bubble tea stalls, a Dunkin' Donuts, fresh fruit and a cinema. The crowd is overwhelmingly local, which is exactly the appeal if you've had your fill of tourist-facing shops in Ao Nang.

The food court is the reason I'd send someone. Cheap Thai dishes, air conditioning, clean tables. Vegetarians should know there's no dedicated veggie stall, though reviewers have had luck asking a stall to cook pad thai without fish sauce, and it worked out well. The cinema is a decent fallback on a wet afternoon, but English-language screenings are thin on the ground and staff may not speak much English at the counter. Go in expecting a bit of pointing and smiling.

Down the road and a short distance away from Big C store is the Lotus Superstore. Somewhat newer, more modern and larger in size but the concept is the same all over Thailand 🇹🇭. A branded anchor tenant with lots of other shops and food center houses in a single complex. Lotus is More crowded meaning that locals prefer coming here? There's also a Cinema here. More restaurants here too!! Including Swensens, KFC and MK.

A great complex now revamped and better than ever. Far more than just a supermarket and department store. There is still plenty of parking and now more restaurants, cafes and specialty stores. Just hoping that eventually more English speaking movies will be shown in the Cinema!

Good stop before heading out for shopping. Not many options in Krabi. But it's clean and has fair number of shops. They have stalls for bobba tea , fresh fruits, dunking donuts, and couple of bakery shops. Theres food court but not vegetarian options. Requested one stall booth to make vegetarian pad Thai. And it was delicious. Authentic flavours without meat, fish or fish sauce. We also got another serving for take away. Bobba tea was also good. We had peach tea and mango tea
