PHUKET SHOPPINGS
A few years ago when the first huge shopping mall opened in Phuket, local shop owners scared of have no jobs as disadvantage under competitors. In fact, with Phuket more developed, malls are ubiquitous but have not smothered the Thai traditional market life on the island. Local shop owners still run their business and Thai people like to categorize their shops so that if you are looking for a particular item there will be several local shops selling on the same street.
