Phuket is a small island, but Shopping in Phuket is fun, and the choice is vast. The most popular places where people like to browse and spend time are night markets, bazaars, and shopping malls.
Night markets are cheap and sell fun stuff and lots of local food. It’s colourful and always full of creative surprises. On the other hand, bazaars sell cheap knockoffs and copies of famous brands and are not always cheap, so you should bargain hard (most of the time, bazaars are not run by Thai people!). Shopping malls are popular because people can browse and eat in trendy air-conditioned buildings. If you wish to be listed in Phuket 101 Directory, just contact us, it is free for the moment!
