Phuket is not just the most popular resort town in all of Thailand, it is also one for some spectacular shopping malls that may only be second to the ones in Bangkok. So if you are planning to spend some quality beach time in Phuket, why not also get all that shopping done. Here's where to go.
Located on Patong Beach in Kathu, Jungceylon Mall is popular for its convenient location. It has a large Big C supermarket, over two hundred boutiques, five movie theatres that include SF Cinema City, a hotel, twenty-five restaurants and bars and is home to a Robinson department store. There's a saying among locals that if what you are looking for isn't in Jungceylon Mall, then you won't be able to find it in Phuket!
As a popular seaside resort, you will find in Phuket a luxury villa for sale for whatever your price bracket is. And if you are looking to furnish it with the best in homeware you should head out to the Central Festival Phuket situated in Phuket Town. It is the largest shopping mall in Phuket situated on the outskirts of the town at Muang. You can buy anything branded from homeware to cosmetics and clothing. There are sportswear boutiques, a well-stocked food court and an SFX Cinema. And the mall isn't just on one side, but both sides of the Bypass road.
Located just a quick drive from Avadina Hills by Anantara on New Dibuk Road, Limelight Avenue Phuket is a shopping mall right in the heart of Phuket town. It is just a couple of steps away from Old Phuket Town which you can explore as it is the historic district of the town. It covers approximately 7,000 square metres and is a contemporary 2 storey building with plenty of parking available. There are plenty of boutiques, bars, restaurants and services that you would find it the ideal place to get some air-conditioning away from the humidity of the outside and truly enjoy the shopping experience.
Premium Outlet Phuket is what you might call extremely unique. It is located on Bypass Road, not too far from the Central Festival Phuket. It is a shopping mall that has been designed to look like a village with a few boutiques, restaurants and bars located all over its "streets." One of the coolest things bout Premium Outlet Phuket is that it is home to popular brands who sell discontinued items at rock bottom prices. It is a veritable gold mine for those looking for toys, shoes, clothes and other things at a good deal.
Banana Walk is also located on Patong Beach and features seven restaurants among the colourful boutiques it hosts. It is also a very aesthetically pleasing mall with LED lights and displays that makes it glitter at night. There is a convenience store on the second floor and a mini-golf course on the roof.
