Original Artwork
Artists sell original paintings and reproductions at street-side galleries throughout
Phuket. The quality varies, and the costs are always negotiable. The artists often sit
at their easels while customers browse the collections.
Bespoke Tailors
Feel like a king as one of Phuket's bespoke tailors, commonly found in Patong, Kata,
and Karon beaches, measures you for a custom-fit suit. Just don't wait until the end
of your holiday; several fittings are needed to make your suit fit just right.
Chan's Antique House
Phuket's largest collection of art and antiques is
housed in this upscale gallery selling Thai home
decorations, bronze Buddha statues and vases,
teakwood furniture sets, and decorative cabin-
ets.
