Major shopping centers in Phuket: photos and reviews

In Phuket, people prefer not only to have a rest and celebratory time, but also to visit shopping centers. For shopaholics this place will be ideal. I do not want to go into details about small shops, where you can buy various souvenirs, it is better to talk about what everyone has heard. In Thailand, Phuket is in third place (after Bangkok and Pattaya) in terms of sales, judging how fast and how many people are spent in local stores. Most tourists, speaking of a trip to this island, are jokingly offered to fly here with an empty suitcase and plenty of money. Shopping centers in Phuket are intended for those who are determined to carry out global shopping.

Most often on the island there are huge hypermarkets and malls in large numbers. The main shopping area can be called the same area and the beach of Patong. Galleries and shops are located not only on its territory, but also in other parts of the city.

Central Festival

The best institution on the territory of the island of Phuket is the shopping center "Festival". It is located on the outskirts of the city. There are more than 250 shops in it. Their assortment is filled with thousands of things from European and Asian brands.

The largest shopping center in Phuket has five levels. Let's consider each of them:

1. The first floor includes perfumery, shoes and clock shops, a supermarket, many small cafes and restaurants. Almost all establishments are official distribution points for many famous brands.
2. On the second floor there are shops of women's clothing, underwear, swimsuits, souvenirs, household appliances, phones. There are boutiques, beauty salons, massage rooms, as well as many pharmacies.
3. The third floor is the location of clothing stores for men, sports centers, photographic laboratories, book counters. There are restaurants, a spa, a food court and a cinema.
4. On the fourth floor there are children's shops, toys, clothes, beauty salons and hairdressers. There are rooms for children and recreation for children.
5. In order to get to the fifth level, you need to find a cosmetic department on the first floor. There is an escalator, which helps to go down to zero. Here there are institutions where you can buy various goods for home and office.

Only one Thai silk store is located on the territory of all commercial points of the island of Phuket. Shopping center "Festival" - its location.

The shopping center is open from 11am to 10pm. Feedback from tourists is positive. But still, visitors note that prices are too high for many things. Even if you take it with discounts, the benefit is small.

Tesco Lotus

Shopping centers in Phuket are one of the oldest - Tesco Lotus. It should be clarified that there are several small branches of this institution on the territory of the city. This complex is something like "Metro" - a huge hypermarket, in which there are all kinds of items for home, office, you can buy food, household chemicals, etc. Restaurants and boutiques, of course, are also available.

Feedback from customers about this institution, in principle, positive. It often comes as tourists, and local people who want to buy cheap children's clothes, T-shirts, shorts. And even with a small cost, the quality of the assortment is quite good. That's why this shopping center is so popular. Patong (Phuket) - a place where so many interesting stalls and institutions.

On the whole territory of the city there are four open stores, in which they sell the most popular and necessary goods. We are talking about products, alcohol, cosmetics, household chemicals. In the main complex there is a special department where things are sold for repair, construction, a garden and a house. On the ground floor there are places for food, shops. On the second - slot machines and cafes with outlets. It's always quite noisy, so if you want to dine in silence, it's best to choose some cozy establishment on the first floor.

Tesco Lotus is a large shopping center in Phuket, which operates from 10am to 11pm.

Big C

Very close to the above complex can be found Big C. It is somewhat reminiscent of Tesco Lotus, but it is less bulky. There is also a room for children, and cafes, and shops, and a food court.

Like other shopping centers in Phuket, this daily meets a huge number of tourists and local residents. It is considered one of the cheapest among those complexes that are on the island.

On the second floor there is a hypermarket, restaurants, points of sale of gifts and costume jewelery. On the third you can relax by playing in bowling alley, and also buy a lot of souvenirs.

If you believe people's reviews, this shopping center is considered the best, if it comes to buying a phone. The assortment of such equipment on its territory is quite large.

The shopping center is open from 9am to 12am.

Robinson's

The shopping center is in the Phuket Town area. Outwardly, it is somewhat reminiscent of the Central Festival, but the brands that are represented in the assortment of this complex are slightly cheaper and little known.

The culinary zone of the shopping center is decorated in the Portuguese design direction. Here there are restaurants of Russian cuisine, Japanese, Thai, American, Australian.

Outlet Mall

The next described shopping complex is the Outlet Mall. He settled down on the way to the airport from the central part of the city. Many shops that are located here, often spend sales, reducing the cost of their goods 10 to 70%.

Villa Market

Villa Market is a shopping complex, which is more impressive for locals than tourists. It is located near the ring of Chalong. Here you can hardly buy souvenirs, because there are simply no specialty shops selling them. Most often, they buy goods for home, recreation, family, garden, office. In the center of the supermarket are shops selling imported food. For a lot of money you can buy beef from Australia, sausages from Germany, wine, buckwheat or kefir. There are separate shops for children here. They sell special food, hygiene items.

The complex is open from 11 am to 10 pm.

Makro

If you compare with domestic counterparts, you can call a similar store Metro. They are similar in purpose and design. Only those who are interested in wholesale purchase of any products come here. You can buy fruits, vegetables, curry, bread, semi-finished products, sauces.

If we are not talking about food, then we need to clarify that it sells household chemicals, shampoos, soap, slippers, bathrobes, etc.

The shopping center opens at 6 am, and closes at 11 pm.

Reviews about it are positive. Still no one complained about the price level and the quality of the products.

Bazaar Karon

Another fairly well-known and cheap shopping area in "Karon Plaza" is the eponymous bazaar. It is located in Phuket in the heart of Beech Road. In the bazaar you can buy anything you like, as well as what you need both on vacation and at home.

This place of sales opens every day at 10 am and functions literally until the last visitor. Some large shopping centers in Phuket, unfortunately, can not boast of such a long working day. The bazaar looks so beautiful and fascinates a person that every tourist dreams of a later stroll with his second half. Karon is a small copy of the notorious weekend market in the area of Towns. They differ only in that the described market is slightly higher than the price, bargaining is allowed. Looks inside the market quite nicely: concrete floors, neon signs, well-designed roof.

Soi Old Phuket aka Aroona Karon

This store is located near Beach Road. Everyone who enters a person is surprised by the style in which the institution is decorated. The Chinese-colonial interior always attracts many tourists. The store is more like a small shopping center. On its territory there are bars, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, SPA-salons, institutions that provide massage services, ateliers. Here you can buy beautiful and bright bags, shirts, souvenirs, suits, swimsuits for little money. There is also a travel agency where you can book tickets. Few shopping centers in Phuket (reviews about them, however, are positive from all tourists) can offer such a service.

The restaurants offer dishes of various cuisines - from Thai to Swedish. In the afternoon, small shops open, which sell key fobs and jewelry for little money. Because of the beautiful atmosphere here often walk visitors and just admire the surrounding views.

Karon Plaza

"Karon Plaza" is somewhat reminiscent of the Latin lowercase letter L. This complex was located on the west coast of the island of Phuket. Town (the shopping center is located in this area) is distinguished by the presence of good commercial points, where qualitative adaptations are offered for a small price. The complex consists of hotels, beauty salons and massages. It's nice to be here only in the evening. In appearance, the complex will clearly not be able to occupy the first position, and to call it the best place for shopping is definitely impossible, but when it comes to life (at 9 pm), it becomes an ideal "street" for walking.

Due to the fact that the hotel is located near the "Karon Plaza", a too lively stream of visitors will slow down the inspection of the territory, but behind it there are many shops that are at an affordable price even for expensive items. In the summer, you can find a lot of panamoks, T-shirts, baseball caps and other beach "symbols." There is also a studio.

Center Point Village

It's about a small shopping complex, which took about 80 meters of the territory of Karon. Here you can find no more than a few dozen shops and cafes. For shopping one boutique, a pharmacy, salons (for sale SPA-products and bags) is opened. There are also points where souvenirs are sold. Thanks to the SPA located here, you can gain strength and after his visit with good spirits go to the sightseeing of the island. This complex is included in the list of "Best shopping centers in Phuket".

Near the beach is the restaurant "Subway", where you can buy a pankake or a sandwich. Shake, smoothies and other delicious drinks are sold.

Karon Center Plaza

"Karon Central Plaza" - a small market, which housed shops, booths. He settled himself in an alley, covered with a roof. All visitors declare unanimously that finding the entrance to it will be easy enough. A beautiful and large signboard certainly will not let pass. Walking along the alley, you can stumble upon various kiosks, where belts, shoes, clothes, bags, various accessories are sold. Nothing special here is not traded. But still some institutions are different. Shopping centers in Caron (Phuket really pleases with a large assortment) are often surprised by interesting shops. It's about the picture gallery. It employs several artists who can easily write a portrait or still life. For a small fee, they will draw anything, subject to the availability of photography. Such a souvenir will always be remembered and never lost. Another unique place - a store that is decorated in the style of the Wild West. It sells all kinds of products made of leather.

Dshop

Dshop shop has been working since 2013. Here they sell eclectic products. It should be noted that in Karon they are not sold anywhere else, only in Dshop. To put it in more detail, you can buy souvenirs, accessories, large enough clothes, precious stones, as well as Thai wine. Even large shopping centers in Phuket can not offer such a huge range.

Siam Herbal

The Siam Herbal store sells special products for traditional medicine. They are all natural. Thanks to them, you can easily remove the inflammation and remove irritation of the skin.

This store is part of the center, which is located in Caron. It must be said that Thailand itself is famous for honoring non-traditional medicine. Therefore, it is so thriving. And has long been considered an alternative method of curing many diseases.
