IMO, it's the worst place in Thailand, the least interesting and beautiful Island

Full of Europeans and Americans, things are more expensive. Very superficial place

Market and watches are crap. Go to Bangkok if you want nice cheap reps. MBK mall, night market are the places to go.

Regarding tourism, Ko Tao and Ko PhanGan are much better

The only place I know of to buy a good rep anywhere in Thailand is from Reg (Narikaa ) a TD He will be very unlikely to deal with you directly. So you may as well order it from back home.

Hi, I stayed on this island for a while (highly recommend it) I stayed in Chaweng, I noticed the prices are a lot more for things than what you would pay in Bangkok, girlfriend was looking at leather bags I was looking at watches.

The only nice reps I seen were some Uboat 1001 titanium 21j, but im talking a few years ago, the Rolex and Omega were poor.

Interesting to hear that opinion, I loved where I stayed. but then I stayed in Koh Phangan for 4 days after and didnt think so much of it.

I just hated Koh Phi Phi. dirty rotten hole of a place
