Shopping in Phuket ranges from polished malls with fixed prices to lively markets where friendly haggling is half the fun. Knowing which is which — and where each sits — makes for a better, cheaper haul. Browse the shopping listings or open the directory to explore by area.
Malls, markets and boutiques
Central Phuket, near the town, is the big modern mall — international brands, a supermarket, cinema and welcome aircon. The Phuket Weekend Market (Naka), also near town, is the place to haggle for cheap clothes, phone accessories, street food and knick-knacks. For character, Phuket Old Town has independent boutiques, art shops and local-design stores, plus the Sunday Walking Street (Thalang Road), which is as much an experience as a shop. In the resort areas, Patong has Jungceylon mall and the Banzaan fresh market, while Bang Tao's Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket cover the upmarket, lifestyle end near Kamala and Surin.
Night markets and what to buy
Beyond the big two, atmospheric night markets like Chillva and the beach-town walking streets are great for street food and souvenirs after dark. Good buys include Thai silk and cotton, handmade soaps and spa products, local art and ceramics, cashew nuts and dried fruit, and tailored clothing — Phuket has plenty of tailors, though allow a few days and several fittings for a decent result rather than a rushed overnight suit.
Bargaining and hours
Bargaining is expected at markets and with street vendors — do it politely, with a smile, and be ready to walk away; a fair price is usually somewhere below the first quote. Malls, department stores and boutiques have fixed prices. Markets run mostly in the evenings and at weekends: the Naka Weekend Market on Saturday and Sunday evenings, and Old Town's Walking Street on Sunday evenings. Carry cash in small notes for markets, as many stalls don't take cards. For food-market tips specifically, see our Phuket food guide.
