Patong's Jungceylon shopping centre

I was back in Phuket in Sept 2008, having been several times in the past. My previous visit was immediately after the Tsunami Phuket in Dec 2004 . So 4 years later there are of course a lot of changes and new developments. One is this nice shopping centre in the heart of Patong. Robinsons store and Carrefour hypermarket are the anchor tenants.
See Jungceylon

JungCeylon was the name of “Phuket” back in 1511 A.D. when it was a fertile and prosperous port town embraced by the Andaman Sea. The name is now being used again for the Jungceylon project, a world class shopping and entertainment destination that will revive Phuket’s great history and reputation and make it becomes known around the world.

Jungceylon entrance

There are 4 different sections, Silang Boulevard, Phuket Square, The Port, and Sino Phuket.

Sino Phuket

 

The main focal point is a life-sized reproduction of a 20 metre Chinese Junk equipped with a hydraulic catwalk for all sorts of events and shows. At night there is an Amazing Water Fountain Show that features multi-media movies projected onto a high-tech water screen incorporated with light, sound and live performance!
