Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

This is the place to go when the villa's refrigerator is empty and the sunscreen has run out. A proper supermarket with an attached shopping center offers groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, cold drinks, clothing, household appliances, a large hardware department, as well as smaller shops and snack bars in and around the building, including KFC. The prices are in line with normal Thai retail prices and aren't inflated with resort markups – and that's precisely what makes it so appealing.

The food court is an often underestimated area for travelers. There are numerous stalls offering local and international cuisine, and an affordable breakfast if you're an early riser. There are also cafes and restaurants, as well as a children's play area if the kids get restless while you shop. Regular customers point out that some stalls sometimes run low on stock, and finding a specific item can take longer than usual. The delivery service has significantly worse reviews than the store itself, so I would recommend picking up your order in person.
