Jim Thompson silk

Jim Thompsons Silk - it is not necessary to write a long history of Jim Thompson and his role in the emergence of the Thai silk trade.  It is certainly important and the silk produced by the company is always of high quality.

There are a number of outlets in Phuket:

Central Festival - Phuket Town

Phuket International Airport
Canal Village - Laguna
Kata Thani Beach Resort and Spa
Le Meridien Hotel
Turtle Village

but we like to shop at 'The Courtyard' because it is a Factory Outlet with a lot of discount.

Butterfly Garden and Insect World (closed April 2015)

I am overwhelmed with the number of visits that we have made BUT my daughter loves it.

Premium Outlet

Premium Outlet is a recognised company in Thailand and the name indicates that it is an area where there are a lot of 'recognised' stores in the close vicinity.  I have listed some below.

The items are sometimes cheaper than you can purchase them in Europe but sometime you are unable to find the correct size.  The company purports to be selling the originals and it seems that they are selling items which have not been immediately successful in the general market place and they are collected here to sell - but have a look - if you want those Nike trainers and they have your size...
