🇹🇭3 Best Shopping Malls in Phuket: Central Festival Phuket, Jumgcelon & Central Patong｜ 盤點普吉島上3大商場

Phuket shopping malls keep emerging here and there, reminding us how much the island has changed in the past two decades. They might not please travellers who used to come last century, but they are an excellent way to escape the heat or the unavoidable rainy days.
In recent years shopping malls in Phuket started to evolve and adapt to a fast-changing market and should not be entirely discarded. Yes, you will find all the usual clothing brands and all the cosmetics you need if you forget your fancy lotion. All the big franchises are here too, as you can expect from globalisation: Starbucks, KFC, doughnuts and burgers.
With the online shopping phenomenon, small traditional shops started to close, replaced by local restaurants. Thai people love food, so shopping malls did the math: if you can’t attract customers with shops anymore, attract them with food, and they will also shop.
It worked perfectly well, and you would be surprised how good Thai food can be in a mall! Most of them are on the lower floor and can be a good clean experience if you wish to try authentic Thai food but are worried about the cleanliness of street food.
Here, we only list Phuket shopping malls and a few shopping villages. Places like Lotus, Big C and Makro are classified as giant supermarkets, and there are now so many of them we will only add them to the map.
