Sri Thanu Island Family Shop

Double charging classics.

Location: On the corner of the main Sri Thanu road opposite the entrance to Moon Beach Bungalows AND opposite the 7'11 in Sri Thanu.

Even though these family run business are stones throw from 7'11 they still overcharge foreigners by as much as 200% for everyday items such as soap, drinks and water.
They are also incredibly rude to tourists.

If your local shop is obviously double charging you, ask for a Thai price (they still make money on this), If they refuse, go to 7'11.

DO NOT SUPPORT DOUBLE CHARGING ON KOH PHANGAN!!! IT IS A FALSE ECONOMY FOR THE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND UPON THE ARRIVAL OF TESCO AND MACRO FOOD STORES, IT WILL BANKRUPT THEM.

EDUCATE THEM INTO THE FUTURE!
