Main Super Market
Banglamphu’s practical pit stop near Khao San: ice-cold beers (often 45–65 THB), 1.5L water ~20 THB, and all the small essentials — sunscreen, mozzie spray, plugs, ponchos — plus late-night snacks for the stumble home.
About
Just off Khao San, Main Super Market is the quick, no-drama supply stop you’ll use more than once. Fridges are packed with ice-cold drinks, from bottled waters and Thai iced teas to Leo and Singha longnecks that undercut bar prices. Shelves run deep with road-trip fuel — potato chips, dried squid, instant noodles, and a few sweet fixes for the late-night walk back to your guesthouse.
It’s also where you sort the small but essential stuff that’s annoying to hunt down elsewhere: sunscreen, mosquito repellent, toothpaste, shampoo sachets, ponchos for surprise storms, and a basic set of travel plugs. Expect friendly, fast service and prices that make sense for Banglamphu — think 1.5L water around 20 THB and take-away beers typically in the 45–65 THB range. Swing by before a river boat run in the morning, or drop in after midnight when you just need a cold drink and a snack without the Khao San chaos.
Tip: grab cup noodles and a spoon for a budget midnight “dinner”, and stock up on small bills — it keeps the queue moving when the backpacker rush hits around 9pm.
