The latest major Phuket shopping mall opened its doors in 2009 and the Premium Outlet Phuket is also the first factory outlet mall in Phuket. I first got acquainted with factory outlet malls during my holidays in the US and I really loved the concept. The concept flew over to Thailand about 10 years ago and there are actually many factory outlet malls located all over Thailand now but the Premium Outlet Phuket Mall is the first of its kind in Phuket.

However it does seem that the Premium Outlet Phuket shopping mall is somewhat struggling as it does not attract nearly as many shoppers as you will find at some of the “regular” shopping malls in Phuket such as the Phuket Central Festival Mall or the Patong Jungceylon shopping mall. There are various reasons for that which I would like to mention in this Premium Outlet Phuket review.

As you would expect to find at a factory outlet mall, there are many well known brands who have leased a shop at this Phuket shopping mall. The whole idea behind a factory outlet mall is that you can buy brand name products and clothing at discounted prices due to the fact that the products might be from last season or perhaps because they might be second grade. However the prices at the Premium Outlet Phuket are not anywhere are cheap as what you would find at an American outlet mall so there really isn’t all that much reason why anyone would go shopping at a shopping location such as Premium Outlet Phuket.

Another problem which the Premium Outlet Phuket mall is facing is that it’s attracting hardly any local residents. The Premier Outlet Mall in Phuket offers products and goods which are mainly interesting for tourists and travelers and especially at the prices which these shops charge. And the problem with that of course is that Phuket has a tourist season of only a few months so the majority of the year the Premium Outlet Phuket has only few potential customers around.

The Premium Outlet Mall in Phuket is 18 thousand square meters in size and you can find over 300 brand names at this Phuket shopping mall. There are plenty of parking spaces available as over 500 cars can park at this Phuket outlet mall. The opening hours of the Premium Outlet Mall are daily from 10:00 until 21:00.
