If you are looking to buy branded clothing at throwaway prices, look no further than Phuket’s Premium Outlet. An open-air shopping mall that makes for a perfect day out, this place has over 300 international labels and is spread across a whopping 18,000 square metres. In fact, it bears a strong resemblance to the resorts of the South of France. There is everything from Levi’s, Nike, Adidas, Lacoste and Hush Puppies to Lee, Guy Laroche, Reebok, Crocs and Pierre Cardin apart from local brands. Thai keepsakes range from silk scarves and cutlery to wooden artifacts and artwork. This address is popular among children because of the abundance of space to run around and the overwhelming number of toy stores like Fisher Price, Ben10, Spiderman, Toy Story and Disney.

Owned by the best fashion retailer of the country, Premium Outlet is a must visit for those who intend to take home discounted wear and souvenirs from Thailand. The mall is on the way to the airport from the town centre. If you miss out on the one in Phuket, there are branches in Koh Samui, Pattaya and Krabi as well. Avoid visiting in the afternoons, as the place can get unbearably sunny.
