Is there anywhere in Patong that works for a group who all want different things?
Of course, not everyone will have the same preferences during holiday trips in Phuket. In Jungceylon Shopping center, we understand all kinds of interests from our visitors, so instead of scattered our stores and restaurants in every zone. We reorganized the store into proper sections: entertainment and electronics are located together on the 3rd floor of The Botanica Zone, fashion runs across the ground and 2nd floors of The Jungle Zone, the massage shops occupy one row of the Jungle basement, and most sit-down restaurants are on the ground floor of The Garden Zone. A group that wants four different things is choosing between four short walks rather than four destinations, which each individual can split up easily.
Where should a group agree to meet inside Jungceylon?
The Tourist Privilege Booth in The Bay Zone. It is staffed and easy to describe to someone who does not know the building, which makes it more reliable than "by the escalator." It is recommended to start there: this is where you collect the Tourist Privilege Card, which gives 5% to 70% off at participating shops and restaurants when you present your passport. A MeSpace Locker unit is located inside the Tourist Service Center, with a second in the basement of The Jungle Zone, so beach bags and shopping do not have to follow the group around all afternoon.
Which shops at Jungceylon suit different people in the group?
The Jungle Zone covers fashion and beauty; Uniqlo, Havaianas, Misty Mynx, LYN, and Jelly Bunny on the ground floor, Adidas Originals, RVCA, Hair Studio 9 and EVEANDBOY on the 2nd floor.
The Botanica Zone handles most of the luxury brand: Coach, NGG Jewelry, Yamin Jewelry and Swarovski for a significant purchase, Phutawan and THANN for Thai-made gifts rather than international labels, and Big C for sunscreen, snacks and anything left at home.
Children will get more out of Flying Tiger in The Jungle Zone and Moshi Moshi in The Botanica Zone.
What is there at Jungceylon for someone who does not want to shop?
The basement of The Jungle Zone runs a single row of massage and therapy units Lalisa Massage, Chantara Massage, Sansabai Massage and Salima Massage & Beauty, so a member can enjoy a relaxing massage for an hour or two while the group can continue shopping. Pimnara Spa on the 2nd floor of The Bay Zone suits something longer. The 3rd floor of The Botanica Zone groups the electronics and repair counters together, including IT Center, Banana IT and Samsung.
Where can a mixed group eat together at Jungceylon?
Paname Brasserie is one of our recommended picks for a mixed table, on the ground floor of The Jungle Zone, open 10 am to midnight, with a kids menu alongside Thai and European dishes. Thai Food Factory in The Garden Zone, has room for a large table and opens from 11 am to 10 pm. If someone in the group eats differently, Roxane Café & Restaurant in The Garden Zone opens at 7:30 am and covers healthier and vegan options. When nobody can agree at all, the Food Bazaar in the basement,The Jungle Zone runs 10 am to 11 pm with buffet-style stalls and a kids playground in the seating area.
Some advice for our lovely visitor
Two to three hours is recommended for a group to split up, do separate things and reconvene over a meal. Jungceylon opens daily from 11 am to 10 pm, with Big C running longer from 9 am to 11 pm. Because it stands directly opposite Bangla Road and about five minutes' walk from Patong Beach, it fits into a day rather than replacing one.
