Shopping opportunities are diverse and plenty. From scuba dive & snorkel equipment (Emporium and Dive Supply, Mae Haad) to stylish, trendy beach wear, there are plenty of shops like Zunami and Anemone that offer quality brand products for bargain prices.
New shopping plaza is slowly opening up on the main road of Sairee Beach. Sairee Plaza consists of over 40 shop spaces and is going to offer everything from clothes, electrics, books, toys, food and much more. Opened up in August 2005 and is well up and running now.
Essentials can be found everywhere around the island. Supermarkets are open from early morning until early night. Recently, Seven Eleven's opened in Sairee Beach and Mae Haad (24 hours). In Mae Haad you can find an abundance of shops that sells Hawaii shirts, sarongs, hammocks, postcards and handicraft.
Ethnic souvenirs made from ceramic, coconut husks, shells or bamboo, or unique jewellery made from beads, precious stones, silver or gold are offered in several shops or by street vendors.
