The Best Shopping Venues in Koh Lanta
Most of the dining and shopping venues on Koh Lanta Island are fairly basic and simple in nature. All hotels in Koh Lanta typically offer a restaurant or some other dining venue. Ban Saladan is the island’s main village and where you will find most of the shopping areas that are currently available. The village is located on Koh Lanta’s northern end, and if you want a more relaxed shopping atmosphere compared to what you find on some of the other Thai islands, you’ll certainly find it here.
The Hammock House located in Lanta Old Town – hammocks and relaxing in them during the tropical afternoons are a local passion here on Koh Lanta, and this establishment carries some extremely unique designs and styles. The shop’s interior décor is worth seeing as well as it is as unique as the hammocks that are hand-woven by Thailand’s Mlabri tribe. You will find the largest assortment of hammocks on the island here, which makes this shop well worth visiting.
Afternoon markets and souvenir shops – along with the smaller supermarkets that carry the basic living essentials, the markets and shops in the area offer some interesting items at great prices. Additionally, if you have brought your laptop with you and would occasionally like to check your e-mails, there are a number of internet cafes located here. You can take a break from exploring the markets and shops, enjoy a drink and snacks, and catch up with friends at home or work if you choose.
