WELCOME

Phuket Shop 'til you drop is destined to make the best of your time shopping in Phuket as well as save you lots of money. We will take you to places and shops that you may never find on your short stay. In the past you needed to go to Bangkok for any serious shopping, Phuket now has shopping opportunities to satisfy all but the most fanatical shopaholic.

In addition to the roadside stalls and markets, there are quite a few shopping centres and department stores, as well as a good selection of boutiques and specialty shops. Fine examples of traditional handicrafts, textiles, gems, jewellery and antiques as well as clothing and everyday items are sold all over the island.

The best bargains and widest range of goods are found in Phuket City and Patong. Though there are plenty of shops and stalls to be found in beach areas such as Kata and Karon. About 80km all round Phuket Island, there are many great shops and markets open day and night.

Markets are what shopping in Thailand is all about. The street markets in the beach areas sell all kinds of clothing, such as “brand name” t-shirts, DVD movies, watches, along with gift and souvenir items. Remember to compare prices, and bargain hard but with a smile. Ill-tempered bargaining will get you nowhere in Thailand.

All along the beach road south of Soi Bangla and down a few of the small alleys are stalls and shops selling cheap designer goods, beach wear, watches, some electrical goods and souvenir items. Quite a few stalls and shops are open during the day but the street really comes alive in the evenings.

Items listed below are most commonly available which saves you approximately 30-70 % as purchased in Australia and New Zealand.
