Phuket Old Town
Phuket’s Old Town is a shopaholic’s dream. If you’re a shopper, this place needs to be on your must visit list.
There are endless streets to explore and many cheap items for sale. For the best prices, avoid the brand name stores and stick to the smaller shops in the area.
If you are looking for tie dye clothing – like sarongs, long or three quarter pants, skirts and other pieces of light weight clothes, you have found your place. Clothing sold is good quality and at rock-bottom prices.
So much on offer here. Make sure you give yourself a few hours to explore.

Premium Outlet Phuket
The layout of the Premium Outlet Phuket mall is like other factory outlets found worldwide. The outlet sells out of season stock at ridiculously cheap prices. Most good are original brands at up to 70% off the recommended retail price (RRP).
Depending on where you live in the world – out of season here can be fresh stock somewhere else!
Warning! The mall is quite empty with only a few stores open. It hasn’t recovered to it former glory.
If you can forgive the rundown appearance, empty shops, and some bad reviews online, it might be a good shopping trip.
