The shops
Tell me, are there shops like TukKom, big BigC centers and Festival in Phuket? We have been to Pattaya several times, so we are thinking about the island, but we are interested in shopping

Everything is there in Patong.

In Patong there is Jungle Ceylon, which has Big C. In Phuket Town there is Lotus, Big C, Festival. All these stores have electronics departments, but there is no such separate store as Tuk Kom in Phuket.

There may be shops, but you won’t be able to get to them from the hotel for 10 baht, as in Pattaya. Taxi only. Prices bite: Karon - Kata 200bat. Karon - airport 1000-1200. And this is one way. There are buses for the locals, but how, where and what time they go is a mystery. They rarely go. Not recommended for tourists.

You decide if you want to buy something in Pattaya. And if the sea - then to Phuket. In Phuket, going to some shopping center is spending a day.

Well, I would put it differently: if overseas - then to Phuket (and in the summer - to Koh Samui, Tao, Koh Phangan), and if shopping, then to Bangkok!

Oleksiy, we took a bus ride, I can recommend it :))
They go about once an hour, from the west coast to Phuket Town, to the pass 20 baht, if through the pass - 35. The final stop is in the city near the city market. Passing by the Festival, BigCi. They are distinguished by a cheerful blue coloring, a little more than tuk-tuks in Pattaya. Those that are pink :)) ride inside the Town itself, respectively, the price is twenty.

The bus specifically says "Kata-Karon-Phuket " (in English, of course), there is Patong-Phuket, check on the Internet.
We were lucky with the hotel, the route passed nearby.

visiting Phuket and not visiting Patong is unthinkable. So the mall will be there anyway. And you can combine shopping and partying.

From Patong, there is also a bus to Phuket Town. The cost is 50 baht. The final one is in the south of Patong, near the Absolute Hotel.

The tourist community is a great force! We figured out the buses ;))) But I think such a trip should be planned for the whole day. Yes, and questions - when is the first one, when is the last one, stop by hand or in certain places, travel time, well, etc.
Well, okay, the TS hasn’t even decided yet whether he will go to Phuket at all, and I’m from Pattaya for a week, until I’m going there;))

Oleksiy, get together - contact us! By bus, you can not only get to shops.

You can even cheat, take a free shuttle to some store in the city, get there and go about your business, though you can’t get back on the bus, you need to find out the time of the return flight.
