Central Festival Phuket Shopping Center

An upscale level of shopping, dining and entertainment experience is there to enjoy at Central Festival Phuket Shopping Center. The 120,000 sqm shopping center in Wichit, Phuket is home to over 400 outlets selling clothes, accessories, books, gadgets, and food. The Central Festival Phuket Shopping Center by the Central Group of Companies opened in September 2004. It has a huge underground parking, which shoppers can use for free. Keeping the receipts of items bought in the mall and presenting them at the airport prior to departure gives tourists a tax refund. It is a must though to get refund coupons at shopping center’s tax invoice desk. Shoppers can enjoy the entire day exploring the outlets in the mall, until 10pm.

Central Festival Phuket Shopping Center near the outside border of Old Phuket Town and Patong is surrounded with an array of fun sightseeing and swimming activities and decent hotels. Dara Hotel, a stylish contemporary hotel with LEGO-inspired architecture, sits just steps from Central Festival. Swimming at the nearby Patong Beach should not be missed when staying in the hotel. A wide range of unique items for sale does not take long to reach with the nearby Chao Fah Variety Market. Go a bit further and find another modern property, Blue Carina Inn Hotel. The hotel with swimming pool and restaurant is 30 minutes away to the Phuket International Airport but is a lot closer to the well-maintained golf courses in Phuket Country Club.
