Koh Samui is packed with great shopping opportunities with many shops and market stalls in all the busy beach areas. Chaweng Beach road, Samui's busiest beach resort, is lined with a huge range of shopping with everything from clothes and souvenir stalls to designer shops selling well known international brands.
You will find handicrafts made from Thai materials including coconut, mango and golden teak wood. Beautiful fabrics, including famous Thai silk, are used to make bed sheets, tablecloths and clothes. If you want something special, Thai local artists have a number of art houses where they reproduce photos and famous images as oil paintings. Other bargains include sunglasses, sandals, jeans and T-shirts which can be picked up very cheaply, compared to Western prices. You can also find DVDs, CDs and computer software at a fraction of the prices back home. You should, however, remember that these pirated copies are illegal and you run the risk of fines or confiscation if found by immigration when you return home.
Wherever you shop, you are bound to get some bargains especially if you like to haggle. Just remember, in the Land of Smiles, your best bargaining tool is usually a big grin and sense of humour.
