Surin Beach Shopping
Where to Shop in Surin Beach
Surin is not a notable shopping destination but there are some interesting places to stop in at if you're in the area. Start at the upmarket shopping mall the Surin Plaza located just before you reach Surin Beach from Cherng Talay. Then there are some nice shop-houses with good quality items near the beach itself.
Surin Beach Road is home to many high quality hotels and resorts; Amanpuri, The Surin and TwinPalms, to name just a few. At the entrance to the Chedi there are a good number of shops, from tailors, galleries, souvenir-and-handicraft shops and women’s clothing boutiques. The boutiques at Chedi and at TwinPalms Resort are worth a visit, too (TwinPalms sells its own delightful bedding and toiletries).
