Lamma is a peaceful island without roads or tall buildings. The laid back atmosphere has attracted lots of "hippy" expatriates seeking a more peaceful existence. Some of these residents have opened craft stores. Most of them are concentrated in the village of Yung Shue Wan, although there are also a handful of shops elsewhere on the island.
These shops are a good place to buy handmade goods such as soaps, clothing, jewelry, art and home decor. Many of the shops feature crafts from other regions in Asia, including India and Thailand. Walk around the streets of Yung Shue Wan and you will find several great shops to browse.
What to buy: Clothing, jewelry, art, handicrafts, soaps, home decor.
What to pay: Most items are relatively inexpensive. US$10-US$20 for a handmade cap, lots of small artsy items for under US$20.
