King Power Phuket is effectively the same as the small collection of shops you see just after the security checks at Phuket International Airport, only on the scale of a shopping mall. It includes high-end fashion labels. It’s not just international brands, either. There is an impressive range of Thai crafts and souvenirs to choose from, too. If you do shop at King Power Phuket, you will need to prove that you are in Phuket on holiday and provide details of when you plan to collect your goods in order to make a purchase, so be sure to bring your passport and return ticket with you.

The market is only a few minutes out from Phuket Town, and is only open at the weekends from 4 pm until 10 pm.

Rawai Beach, at the south end of Phuket island, is not a swimming beach but offers beautiful views on the many nearby islands in a peaceful local atmosphere. It’s a great place to enjoy great seafood. When driving south, the left side of the main pier was long known as the ‘Gypsy Village’, where long-established fishermen in rather precarious houses make a living of fishing, boat chartering and selling shells. Now it’s mostly famous for the crowded Rawai Seafood Market. It is also a good starting point to do some island hopping. 

Laem Phromthep or Phromthep Cape is the most famous viewpoint in Phuket. It is definitely worthy of a look and one of the must see tourist destinations in Phuket Island. There are extremely beautiful sunsets to be seen at the viewpoint, on a clear day at least. Often times, especially during the monsoon season, there will be distant clouds on the horizon, obscuring the sunset. At times this can enhance the natural beauty as the sky appears to be alight with fire. Other times, it is just a major let down.
