Shopping in Phuket
Central Festival
This new luxury
shopping mall is on the outskirts of Phuket Town at the junction between
Wichitsongkram Road and Chalermprakiat Road (Bypass Road). Boasting over 250
shops and more than 50 restaurants, it has just about everything you could
want under one roof. There is a big department store, a supermarket, food
hall and a fantastic variety of shops. Most of the shops are chains selling
genuine designer goods. The prices are therefore higher than other shopping
malls but still better than you will find in western countries for the same
goods.
There is a
multiplex cinema screening English language movies with Thai subtitles.
Originally, there were plans for a ten-pin bowling alley on the top floor
but as yet, this has not opened. The only thing Central is really
missing
is a children's play area.
