I write a lot of lists telling shoppers the best outlet malls to visit around the world. But how about where not to go?
Premium Outlet Phuket is supposed to be THE premium outlet mall in Phuket with outlet stores from 300 brand names, Lacoste, Guy Laroche, Hush Puppies, Warner Bros, Levi’s, Nautica, Adidas, Nike and Thai brands, so I was all psyched about what I might find there. I was disappointed with the lack of selection and deals. It was one let down after another. Many of the stores caused me to walk in and out.
Regardless of the downfalls, I did managed to save money – a pair of Geox shoes – was the only thing that made the trip worthwhile.
I feel for Phuket. It deserves a better outlet mall with real deals. This is the true truth as I say it as it is…
