Tesco Lotus

Outside you’ll find no less than six ATM machines and a couple of stores selling clothes.

No Name Buddha Shop
Located along Talad Kao Road, an offshoot of the Main Street, No Name is run by Mr. Pound, who fashions wooden Buddha images, friezes and heads. It’s a fascinating shop and his prices, although not cheap, are reasonable considering the work that goes into them. Mr. Pound’s shop is surrounded by sarong and T-shirt emporiums that are also worth looking into.
- Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00
- Location: Moo 1, Talad Kao Road, Thong Sala, Koh Phangan, Surat Thani 84280, Thailand

Hammock Lovers Gallery
Colourful, striking and original, Hammock Lovers Gallery is an experience in itself. A shop-house full of every size and shape of lightweight hammocks imaginable along with other accessories such as clever fold-up hippy bags and even parachutes (gulp) and hanging chairs. “The closest you will ever come to sleeping on a cloud” claims Mr. Moon the friendly owner. Come to think of it, that parachute might come in handy after all…
