Boat Avenue Phuket
Boat Avenue Phuket is a relatively new shopping and dining neighbourhood with growing popularity at the entrance of the Laguna Complex in Bang Tao, Cherngtalay.
Shopping in Phuket is easy and affordable, adding to the fun of a great holiday. Night Markets are a chance to find cheap clothing and accessories and a great opportunity to discover local food. Those markets keep opening here and there, and people really love them. Just remember to bargain!
There are a few shopping malls in Phuket as well. Jungceylon is the most popular as it’s in the very middle of Patong beach. It has everything. Not only shops but many restaurants and activities, making it a good escape from the heat or the rain. Don’t miss a chance to visit local markets while in Phuket. This is an opportunity to see an amazing array of ingredients used in Thai cuisine. The display of Thai fruits at the Banzaan Fresh Market of Patong is also superb.
