Top 9 things to do at Jungceylon Patong besides shopping
We all know that Jungceylon Patong is a shopping paradise. From Thai snacks to Coach bags, you can find it all here. But what if you’re not in the mood to shop?
Maybe you just want to relax. Maybe you’re planning a date night. Or maybe a day out with the whole family to escape the hot tropical sun. Whatever you’re after, the biggest shopping mall in Phuket has everything.
We’re talking everything. A restaurant for a long, lazy meal? They have it. A cinema, a cocktail bar, a spa where you can get ridiculously pampered? Yes, yes, and yes.
So, whether you’re planning a day out with family or just want to treat yourself, here’s your ultimate guide to the best things to do at Jungceylon Patong.
What to do at Jungceylon Patong if you’re not in the mood for shopping
1. Enjoy blockbuster films, thrilling rides, and family fun
Who doesn’t love a classic movie night? Bring the whole crew or take yourself on a date, and settle in for a cinematic experience at SF Cinema. Here, you’ll find the latest Hollywood hits, Thai blockbusters, and even the occasional international indie film all on high-quality screens with plush reclining seats and sound systems that do justice to every explosion, whisper, and orchestral swell.
In addition to the cinema, there’s a lineup of entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. The little ones can bounce, climb, and play to their hearts’ content at Froggy’s Fun Park. On the other hand, Kidzooona brings an imaginative spin to indoor play, which is perfect for young explorers who love hands-on fun. And for those who prefer a bit more speed, Power Drive Elite Kart Park offers adrenaline-fuelled excitement on the track.
2. Relax with Thai massages & spas
After a long day of shopping, walking, and carrying bags (or waiting for your partner to finish shopping), there’s no better way to recharge than with a massage. And Jungceylon Patong has a variety of spas to experience it.
The Thairapy Zone, tucked inside The Jungle Zone, is the go-to for a good stretch and serious relaxation. Sansabai Massage, Salima Massage & Beauty, and Lalisa Massage all offer a good selection of Thai massages in their menu, from an hour of relaxation to a full-on pampering session.
Their skilled therapists know exactly how to work their magic. And if you opt for a Thai massage, be prepared for some serious stretching (yes, they might twist you like a pretzel, but you’ll thank them later).
Want to bring a little relaxation home? Stop by Herb Care or THANN for essential oils, balms, and spa products that smell as good as they feel.
Outside the Thairapy Zone, Jungceylon Patong also has other spas, like Pimnara Spa, for those after a little extra pampering.
3. Refresh your skin with a rejuvenating facial treatment
Sometimes, a trip to the mall is the perfect excuse for a skincare upgrade, and at Jungceylon Patong, you’ll find some of the best special treatments in Phuket.
Feeling tired from too much sun or just want that ‘glowing, I-woke-up-like-this’ look? Consider getting a Hydra Facial Treatment at Facetime Facial Massage & Beauty. Want to get Botox to get rid of wrinkles or an Ultralift to tighten your skin? The Essence of Youth Clinic has it all.
Men, don’t think this isn’t for you. The treatments at both Facetime Facial Massage & Beauty and The Essence of Youth Clinic can give you a fresher and cleaner look, too.
4. Treat yourself to a hair, nail, or lash refresh
Nothing lifts your mood like a fresh haircut, glossy nails, or perfectly styled lashes. And at Jungceylon Patong, you’ve got plenty of options to leave looking even better than when you arrive.
If your hair’s looking a little worse for wear after too much sun and saltwater, check out Hair Studio 9 and Raty Beauty & Spa for their expert hair styling. A quick trim, a full-on colour refresh, or just a proper wash and blow-dry? It’s all on the menu. In addition, they know how to work with all hair types, from sleek and straight to thick and wavy, so you can walk out feeling like a million baht.
However, if it’s your nails that need attention, Raty Beauty & Spa also offers gel polish and fun nail designs. Over at NK Beauty, you can get a classic mani-pedi, lash lifts, eyelash extensions, and eyebrow treatments. It’s the perfect destination if you want to add an extra touch of effortless glam to your face.
5. Get a tattoo from a skilled artist
Yes, you can get a tattoo at Jungceylon Patong. We’re serious when we wrote that you can find everything at this Phuket shopping mall.
Wonderland Tattoo at The Jungle Zone boasts amazing artists. If you’re travelling as a couple and want to do something different, why not consider matching tattoos? (Just remember, a tattoo is forever, so maybe don’t get a name.)
Otherwise, you can get any design you want. The artists have been praised for their attention to detail and professionalism. Plus, everything is hygienic and done with excellent safety standards.
6. Explore the dining options
You’re sure to never go hungry while spending time at Jungceylon Patong. There are more than enough restaurants to try, and one day is hardly enough to taste it all.
Make a whole day of it. Start with a light bite from Au Bon Pain, graze your way through the afternoon with lunch at Akimitsu Tendon or Hachiban Ramen, grab a refreshment from Minimelts or Wawa Cha, then settle in for dinner at Roxane Cafe & Restaurant, Spice House, or Bangkok 101, where delicious flavours and good vibes come standard. Before you call it a night, take home something sweet from La Lune Macaron & Pastries.
Want something more romantic? Wine Connection offers a charming ambiance with cheese platters, steak, and a wine list that’ll have you lingering longer than planned. Churrasco Phuket Steakhouse does Wagyu and Black Angus steaks that melt in your mouth, and why?not has a playful vibe that’ll make your date night a lot more fun.
For something late-night, Paname Brasserie stays open until 1am, dishing out European and Thai comfort food. If you and your friends bond over a steaming hot pot, Shabu Shi and MK Gold Restaurant are where you want to be. Moreover, Fuji, Wabi Sabi, Okuna Sushi and Zen serve up Japanese favourites that hit the spot every time.
Of course, this is Thailand, so you’ll find a wide range of Thai restaurants. Le Siam and Thai Food Factory serve up a variety of local dishes that will remind you why you came to the country in the first place.
And if it’s fast food for the whole family you’re after, The Pizza Company, McDonald’s, KFC, and Taco Bell make sure everyone, kids included, leaves happy and full.
7. Sip on specialty coffee in a cosy café
A day out in Jungceylon Patong deserves a proper coffee break. Something smooth, rich, and made with care. Luckily, this shopping mall in Phuket has plenty of cafés that take their brews seriously.
At The Coffee Club, you can go classic with a velvety flat white or shake things up with a matcha latte. Pair it with an acai bowl or a full English breakfast, and suddenly, life feels a little sweeter.
Meanwhile, CPS Coffee serves up specialty roasts and Tim Hortons is the place for those who swear by an iced latte.
Not really into coffee? Pancake Corner has you sorted with golden, fluffy stacks drenched in syrup, best paired with a refreshing iced tea. But when you need an antidote to Phuket’s warm weather, Swensen’s, Lavanille, Issy Gelato, and Häagen-Dazs are ready to cool you down with scoops of rich ice cream or gelato.
8. Have a drink at a pub
Some nights call for fine wine and candlelight. Others? Ice-cold beer, a good playlist, and a place where the drinks flow as easily as the conversation. Swing by Irish Times Pub if that sounds like your kind of date night.
They have Guinness on tap, hearty pub grub, and a friendly crowd. Beware, though, it’s easy to lose track of time here, especially with your special someone by your side.
9. Soak in the ambience by the fountain
The Jungceylon Patong fountain at The Bay zone is hard to miss, with a massive 20-metre Chinese Junk Boat as its centrepiece. It’s the mall’s lively hub, where live performances, cultural shows, and exhibitions keep things exciting.
During the day, it’s a great spot to take a break, sip on an iced coffee, and watch the world go by. In the evening, the lights come on, the air cools down, and it turns into one of the most relaxing and romantic spots in the mall.
If you’re here with family, it’s also a good place to let the kids burn off some energy while you sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.
Jungceylon Patong is the kind of place where a quick stop can turn into an entire day. One minute, you’re grabbing a coffee, the next, you’re deep into a spa session, sipping cocktails, or catching a late-night movie.
It’s an escape from the heat, a break from the chaos, and a spot where you can actually slow down and enjoy yourself. Bring the family, plan a date, or just wander solo, you’ll always find something worth sticking around for at this shopping mall in Phuket.
