Department Stores in Phuket

Department Stores in Phuket and shopping centers have been popping up all over the Island; to meet the demands of both locals and visitors to the Island. Most of us visitors arrive in Phuket with empty suitcases and leave with full ones, or like us have to buy more suitcases to get all our shopping back home.

These stores are stocked with foreign goods, but at cheaper prices than you will find back home. Within the department stores there are a mixture of chain stores and independent shops, some of these will haggle their prices but not by much, you will generally find that they have fixed prices and what is marked is what you pay.

Patong

Jungceylon International Shopping and Leisure Complex

If you get tired of shopping in the humid weather, then head to Jungceylon Shopping Complex which is located on Rat-U-Thit Road in Patong.

The two main stores in the complex are Robinsons and Carrefour a french based supermarket, as well as the other 200 shops that are located in this massive complex.

We can highly recommend the Jungceylon Water Fountain Show that is held daily at 1pm, 3pm, 7pm and 9pm, also the weekend markets. Our favourite hangout when the kids need a fix of KFC or Subway.

Jungceylon is not just for shopping it has cinemas, bowling and laser games; only if you get sick of lying on the beach, and I wouldn't tell your kids about them.

Have a look at the Jungceylon website and check out the upcoming events and the tourist privileges.
