Food shopping in Samui

If you live here or are coming on holiday and going self-catering it is good to know where to buy your supplies. We do have a good selection of supermarkets to choose from and they are names that many Europeans will recognise like Tesco.

Tesco and Big C are great for buying almost everything you would if you were back at home in these types of stores like bread, butter, milk, soft drinks, beer and meat. The selection will not be entirely like home, but it is still possible to buy simple things like beef, pork and chicken.

If you’re a big group or will be catering for a large group Makro is the place to go for bulk buying. Many businesses use this store and it is much the same as any other cas-and-carry across the globe.

Don’t forget our island has many markets scattered across the towns and villages where you can pick up fresh produce of fruit and veg as well as meat and other local delicacies. Products here will tend to be a little cheaper than the stores, although you won’t be able to buy any imported meats of veg.
