The best shopping in Karon Beach can often be found in its retail plazas and shopping precincts. The quiet, family-friendly town has no big shopping malls, but it does have dedicated shopping streets, where you'll find tightly packed collections of stores. These sell mostly souvenirs for visitors, including cheap clothes and beach toys. 

Karon Beach is no shopper’s paradise, so designer labels and unique wares might be hard to come by here. However, for those with a family in tow and looking for essentials (and maybe a few surprises), the shopping scene here will certainly not disappoint. There are also a few good tailor’s shops and artists around if you want something a bit special.
