What to do at Jungceylon Phuket?

Jungceylon Shopping Center is a massive complex in the very centre of Patong Beach and the largest on Phuket Island. Covering 200,000 square meters, it’s so vast it feels like a city within a city. Expect to find many souvenir shops, dozens of restaurants, a department store, cinemas, electronic shops, massage, a two-storey supermarket and many attractions on the upper levels.

Update 2023: Jungceylon went through massive renovations and is now mostly reopened. It’s rather quiet because it is low season and some areas are still under construction, but it’s open. Here are some recent photos.

Jungceylon is a perfect hideaway when it rains in Phuket or when the heat becomes unbearable, and occasionally people go there for shopping. In case you were wondering, Jungceylon is the name given to Phuket Island 100 years ago.

Wine Connection

Wine Connection at Jungceylon Phuket

Wine Connection is a popular franchise serving affordable European and Thai food. As the name implies, they also have a wine cellar at a reasonable price too!

The Food Court

The food court is located under the mall, where all the souvenir shops are, the food court has a lot more food to offer than people expect, and surprisingly, the Thai food served is more Thai than most tourist restaurants found in the streets nearby.

Jungceylon Food Court

 

MK Gold Suki is a luxury version of the very popular MK Suki. This sukiyaki restaurant serves a higher quality of food. There is more choice, feels a bit trendier and as you expect, it is more expensive.

Fuji Japanese Restaurant is a popular restaurant serving decent Japanese food. As it is a franchise, quality is consistent across the whole country.

Shabushi is a fun concept of cooking your food (and still paying for it). It’s like MK Suki mentioned above, but the ingredients, such as meat and veggies, are passing by on a conveyor belt in front of you. Probably great for the kids, but the choice is limited, and the quality is so-so.

La Casa – a decent Italian restaurant formerly from Patong Bay Garden on the beach road

Classics franchises: Subway, Burger King, Starbucks, Haagen Dasz and the famous Coffee Club.

Perfect in case of rain, here is a quick list of all the fun things to do in Jungceylon.

Movie Theater

The Jungceylon Cinema and Movie Theater

The central cinema consists of 6 Rooms Movie Theater. Next, a 4D Mini Movie Theater is where you wear 3D glasses on moving seats and pay to get motion sickness going down a virtual roller coaster.

Massage

Fish Spa

You’ll find plenty of Foot Massage, Traditional Thai Massage and Facial treatments at the lower and upper levels. Prices are reasonable and great for relaxing the day after the party. Let’s not forget the ‘Fish Spa’ where hungry little suckerfish will “eat your dead skin”. Just try not to think about who dipped their sick legs in this aquarium before you.

Bowling

Kidzoona

A large playground for kids is available on the top floor. It’s vast, colourful and all made of bouncy rubber, so kids can have tons of fun there. The team in charge seems attentive and responsible, and parents can go for a short shopping spree knowing that their kids are in a safe and fun place.

Useful Tips

Jungceylon Shopping Mall

If you drive a car, you will soon find it hard to park it anywhere near Soi Bangla in the evening. Park it at Jungceylon Shopping Mall and buy anything or eat ice cream. But keep your receipt! This way you can get free parking till late. You might have to pay 20 Baht until midnight and up to 100 baht, but it is still a bargain! (you will have to walk down the driving way since the shops close at midnight, but it’s easy to find near the disco). If you lost your receipt in excitement to visit your first Go-Go Bar, get ready to pay 190 Baht! (serves you right 🙂

Don’t miss Banzaan Market!
