7-Eleven
It’s not unusual to find 7-Elevens in Thailand but what’s different about this one is that it is extremely busy. Be prepared to queue for some time when shopping here, it’s packed out.

Full Moon in Love Clothing Shop
This is a typical Haad Rin beach/party clothes shop at which you can score fluorescent bikinis, T-shirts, shorts and party paraphernalia. Fluorescent beachwear doesn’t come cheap and for those on a budget you’ll need to bargain hard – with a smile, of course.
- Opening Hours: Daily from 10am to 11pm
- Location: 94/100 Moo 6, Haad Rin, Baan Tai, Koh Phangan, Surat Thani 84280, Thailand
- Tel: +66 (0)86 664 4136

Fusion
Clothes shop with an air-conditioned interior. Mostly dealing in ladies’ fashion, Fusion features locally made products. If there’s a name brand in here it’ll more than likely be a pirated version.

Generic, ‘No-Name’ Supermarket
What this mart doesn’t sell you wouldn’t want to have anyway. Hippy bags, sunglasses, booze, straw mats, sarongs, fishermen pants, beachwear, souvenirs and gifts – the list is endless – all with a nonsensical ‘No Packing’ sign outside… your guess is as good as mine.
- Opening Hours: Daily from 10am to 10pm
- Location: Moo 6, Haad Rin, Baan Tai, Koh Phangan, Surat Thani 84280, Thailand

Nature Art Gallery

It’s all helped along by English-speaking staff (Burmese of course) and a professional approach that is rare to find in this party town. Fixed prices.
- Opening Hours: Daily from 11pm to 11pm
- Location: 94/27 and 133/25 Moo 6, Haad Rin, Baan Tai, Koh Phangan, Surat Thani 84280, Thailand

Pharmacies
Thai pharmacies readily sell over-the-counter products that may need a doctor’s prescription in the west. As such, a typical qualified Thai chemist has surprisingly broad knowledge when it comes to drugs and medicine. The trouble is, when the chemist takes a break he or she will often leave an unqualified person or relative in their place.
- Opening Hours: Times vary but generally from 9am to 10pm with several staying open late on party nights. Southland International Clinic is open 24/24
- Location: Throughout Haad Rin

Tattoo Parlours
Haad Rin has proven to be a magnet for both tattooists and the tattooed. A ‘tat’ is a (somewhat indelible) souvenir of a tropical holiday and even though they don’t come cheap (12,000 baht for a leg tat) more than enough people go for one. For some strange reason the relation between the amount of alcohol consumed and the likelihood of getting a tattoo is exponential – so be warned – and the number of tattoo shops in Haad Rin testifies of this fact.
- Opening Hours: Generally from 10am until late
- Location: Throughout the town
