Koh Rong is certainly no shopaholic’s paradise as there are next to no shops on the island, other than a few basic convenience stores. There are no regular markets, no supermarkets, no malls and not even any wandering peddlers. We’ve listed what little there is available here to help you plan on what basic supplies you will need to bring with you and what you can buy on Koh Rong.
It should be noted that there is only one ATM on the island, in Koh Tui Village, and credit cards are not widely accepted. If you are planning on doing your shopping on Koh Rong, it's highly recommended that you bring ample cash with you as the chances of being able to get more onsite are pretty slim. Fortunately, prices are very low for practically everything, so you won’t need to carry too much money with you.

Best Friend Pharma Cabinet
- Shoppers
Best Friend Pharma Cabinet is a medical facility on Koh Rong. While we obviously recommend that you bring all of the medication you might need with you on your trip to the island, a limited supply of common medicines is available from this drugstore.
They also offer very basic medical services, advertising “free consultation, IV, and wound cleaning”, though we wouldn't recommend relying on them for anything more than a very minor injury. You can easily find the shop near the pier in Koh Tui Village.

Koh Tui convenience stores
- Shoppers
Convenience stores come in no shortage on Koh Rong. There is a small shop next to the White Rose Guesthouse, near the pier in Koh Tui Village. It is pretty much directly ahead of you as you step off the pier at Koh Tui.
These shops typically sell Smart SIM cards for US$5 (+US$1 for internet) as well as basic necessities like sun cream, shampoo and snacks.

The small stores that you can find here sell basic essentials like sun cream, mosquito repellent, snacks and cigarettes, together with an impressive choice of beers, spirits and even wines.
