Super Cheap Market

4.1(5,447 reviews)

Forget the polished supermarket aisles. This is where Phuket restocks its kitchens, its shops and its restaurants, in a warehouse so big that the aisles start to blur together. Wet market at one end with fish and chicken, then bulk groceries, household chemicals, tools, electricals, furniture, toys, clothing, plants, souvenirs. Reviewers mention picking up four fridge magnets for 49 baht, which tells you roughly where the pricing sits. If you're self-catering for a fortnight or you want an honest look at how Thai families shop, put it on the list.

The catch is the heat. There's essentially no air conditioning, so it's a warehouse temperature-wise and you'll feel it by aisle twenty. Wear something light, carry water, and don't plan a long browse in the middle of the afternoon. Most staff speak limited English but people consistently describe them as patient and genuinely helpful when you're lost, which you will be. Halal street food stalls around the site solve lunch.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true one-stop centre for shopping! Super Cheap, Ratsada is literally a one-stop shopping paradise. There are lots of halal street food options around, making it very convenient to shop and eat at the same time. You can find almost everything here — from electronics to household items, clothing, snacks, and daily necessities. Prices are very affordable, especially for bulk purchases. We bought 4 fridge magnets for only 49 baht and Thai inhalers at one of the cheapest prices we found during our trip. Many items are sold in bundle deals, making it perfect for stocking up on cooking sauces, snacks, shirts, souvenirs, and more. It really feels like a wholesale centre, similar to a pemborong in Malaysia. It was also my first time visiting a shopping centre that is quite hot, as it’s not fully air-conditioned. Some areas can feel warm, especially when it’s crowded. Hopefully, they can add more air-conditioning in the future to make the shopping experience more comfortable. 🚗 It’s advisable to come by car, especially if you plan to shop a lot — you’ll definitely be spoiled for choice and may end up buying more than planned. We went by motorbike from Kata, which took about 40 minutes, and we shopped so much that carrying everything back was quite challenging. Overall, a must-visit spot for budget hunters and travellers looking for variety and value for money! recommended for all

Truly amazing Thailand!!! Here in this huge mall you can really find absolutely everything, and the word EVERYTHING does not exhaust the topic! From vegetables and fruits, through household chemicals, shampoos and tools, food and alcohol, to electrical appliances and furniture! Add to that the really low prices and perfect service, and I now understand why even the big world chains have respect for this 24/7 franchise system, born in Phuket! When I don't want to waste my time shopping, I just go there and find everything I need!

Not the average tourist spot, but definitely one for the serious visitors to experience the Thai grocery shopping for daily needs! 👍🏼 1) There must be millions of SKU to deal with at this place! So many items for the Thais to shop. Just about everything under the sun that Thai people needs are available here. 2) A great place for the local business to stock up on their businesses. 3) The crews are generally quite helpful especially when not too familiar with the many aisles. 4) Reasonable prices. 👎🏼 5) Unlike most places catered for tourists, since this is not a place, there is no AC inside, so expect to be really warm. More so, the crews also do the cooking inside the super stuffy venue. 6) There are also food stalls outside, but they all selling about the same thing. So, I wonder, why?

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.
