Phuket Day 5 (I) - Phuket Town Shopping

The Orchids
Soi Dr. Wattana
off the Beach Road
Patong, Phuket

The hotel free shuttle dropped us at one of the open air carpark in Phuket Town. From there we hired a cab to bring us around. The first stop was to Ocean Shopping Mall. We managed to grab some cheap T-shirts and shorts at The Export/Warehouse shops.

Next, the cabby brought us to Pornthip to buy some local food souvneirs.

Our last stop was to the Central Festival. We paid about THB 300 for the taxi fare (from Ocean - Pornthip - Central). We reached around lunch time so went for lunch first before shopping around. We had Japanese food at Zen which will be featured in my next post. The mall is huge and has our favourite store - Central Department Store.

After few hours of shopping, we were tired and had some coffee at the Black Canyon Coffee before going back to the hotel as some of my friends were going for the Spa in Banthai.

As I mentioned from the first day of my trip, taxi fares in Phuket are really expensive. We spend another THB500 to go back to the hotel from Central Festival.
