Central Festival Phuket

Central Festival Phuket is one of the two giant shopping malls in Phuket. Between Central Festival and Jungceylon, It is hard to tell which is the largest, but each has its own style and it's worth visiting both.

Central Festival is definitely more of a traditional department store and is a lot more brand oriented. International names such as CK, CK Jeans, Armani Exchange, DKNY and Diesel have permanent large shops and often offer great 30% to 50% sales, something to keep an eye on. The main shopping gallery also features very large MNG, Esprit, Zara and Guess shops.

The third floor is very much dedicated to restaurant, including a vast food court, the way they like it in Asia, and a six room movie theater including a really cool VIP room with reclining sofas... a must try. The new top floor is almost entirely dedicated to beauty with slimming and beauty salons.

Central Festival is the perfect place on a rainy day, but parking can become a problem, especially at the end of the month when locals receive their salary!
