The best shopping in Patong Beach comes as a surprise to a lot of visitors. Patong is more known for its electrifying nightlife than for shopping, but it is nevertheless a good place to shop and houses some of the biggest shopping malls on the island. Once the heat of the day has dissipated and things have cooled down a little, it’s time to head out and discover what this beach town has to offer by way of retail therapy.
The range of products on sale in Patong is nothing short of staggering: from jewellery and gold to cheap copies of the latest movies and music; brand-name sports clothes and goods to quality (and cheap) beachwear, international spirits much cheaper than back home, health products and souvenirs.

Jungceylon Shopping Complex in downtown, diagonally opposite Bangla Road, radically changed the face of shopping in Patong. The 2 main stores in the complex are Robinson – a well-lit department store – and a Big C supermarket.
The 200-plus other stores in this shopping heaven sell brand-name clothes, sunglasses, cosmetics and perfumes, shoes, tons of mobile phones and accessories, and electrical goods, but it’s also a great entertainment haven with a modern cinema and a 16-lane bowling alley, perfect for rainy days or to escape the heat of the day.

Banzaan Market in Patong is a modern-looking Thai fresh market on Sai Kor Road, right behind the Jungceylon megamall. You can get anything you would expect from a local market but in a much more pleasant environment. Prices are reasonable as well.
The Banzaan Market is the brainchild of a well-known Phuket family who sought to offer shoppers an alternative experience other than visiting a typical local market. The word banzaan means ‘fresh market’ in Hokkien, a Chinese dialect popular among many overseas Chinese communities throughout Southeast Asia. Más información

Malin Plaza Patong offers fair prices and an impressive range of souvenirs in Phuket. It’s just as bustling as most of the island’s markets, but in a cooler environment and with cheaper food available around it.
Some of the things you can buy at Malin Plaza Patong include T-shirts, denim, beachwear, bags, luggage, spa products, mobile phone accessories, and a good range of trinkets and souvenirs. Some of the shirt designs at Malin Plaza Patong are quite unique. Very few local markets in Phuket have a tailor, making this a good place to visit if you want something a little bit different.

Even though the name of this market sounds a little like an oil monopoly, OTOP is, in fact, a canny scheme to promote and stimulate locally made and marketed products of each ‘tambon’ (subdistrict) throughout Thailand.
Standing for ‘One Tambon One Product’ the OTOP idea originated in Japan and encourages village communities to improve the local products’ quality and marketing, selecting one superior product from each tambon to receive formal branding as its ‘starred OTOP product’. At OTOP markets expect to see traditional handicrafts, silk garments, cotton products, pottery, fashion accessories, household items and food. Más información

SB Plaza in Phuket is a great place to pick up budget souvenirs in Patong. Conveniently located right in the heart of the city, between the expansive (and, generally, expensive) Jungceylon Shopping Centre and the Sleep With Me Design Hotel along Rat-U-Thit Road, it has quite an impressive choice of small market-type stalls selling a variety of wares.
Its location close by some of Patong’s key attractions – including Bangla Road and the large shopping malls which surround it – makes it the most convenient market of its kind in the popular resort town, but the good prices and large number of stalls ensure that you don’t have to pay extra for that convenience.
