CENTRAL PHUKET

             Central Phuket is an air-conditioned shopping mall just outside of Phuket Town. If you're coming from Patong, you can find it on your left, before the main crossroads as you enter Phuket. Known as the shopping hub of the island, Central Phuket has more than 400 outlets selling products ranging from silk and clothes to laptops and books.  It's quite possible to spend an entire day of shopping, catching the latest films, and dining at its many international restaurants.
