This is the largest shopping mall in Phuket boasting three very large buildings that are well amalgamated to offer the ultimate shopping experience.

Located on the Bypass Road in Phuket the place is designed like a shopping village; home to a few designer boutiques, cafes and restaurants the place also offers a few bars on the side-lines. All the boutiques are branded shops that sell out of season products at extraordinary discounts. There is a range of goodies from shoes to clothes to toys and branded accessories.

This is a glitzy modern mall that is made of glass and steel. Located about 100 metres to the south of Bangla Road the mall is on Patpong Beach.
