Bophut Shopping

What to Buy and Where to Shop in Bophut

The best way to truly appreciate the many souvenir shops in Bophut is to park outside the Fisherman's Village and stroll up and down the main street that contains the shops and restaurants. Take your time – there are plenty of places to stop for a coffee or a beer break.

As you head down to the pier there are several T-shirt and sandals shops but once on the main street you will see fashionable boutiques.

Siddharta

For elegant dresses, beachwear and the obligatory fisherman's pants, Siddharta has well-stocked shelves and items are just that little bit classier than the typical Chaweng boutique.
Location: Fisherman's Village Main Street
Open: 10:00 – 22:00
Tel: 077-245014

Bophut Plaza

Here's where to head to if you need a suitcase full of wooden souvenirs, beachwear, corny-looking 'dyed' wall fans, straw hats, fake Crocs, DVD's and CD's and T-shirts. This somewhat incongruous (for Bophut) mini-plaza comes alive only at night.
Location: Central Fisherman's Village
Open: 18:00 – 23:00

Siri

Samui Robot Group
