- Hours
- Open 24 hours daily
- 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.

This is a supply run, not an outing. If you're self-catering in Krabi Town, or you just want water, snacks and a few beers before a boat day rather than paying resort prices, it does the job. The name sets expectations honestly: low prices, functional shelves, groceries and household basics stacked where you can find them.
It sits on Thanon Utarakit in Pak Nam, so most Krabi Town accommodation is within easy reach. The crowd is local rather than touristy, which means no big imported food hall and not much English signage. My advice is to come with a list, grab what you need and get out. For anyone on a longer stay with a kitchen, or even just a kettle and a fridge, the savings over three restaurant meals a day pile up quickly.

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.
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.
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.
