Chinese New Year is around the corner. Will you be staying to collect ang  baos or will you be flying off to another country to escape the festivities? If you happen to by flying to Thailand, do not be worried that shops will not be open as it’s business as usual for Thailand. We were recently at Central Phuket and got to know about some of the shops offering  Chinese New Year promotions with a special menu. Do check them out!

Apart from local Thai dishes, they are also good in their Chinese  style dishes. It sets you in the mood for Chinese New Year. We also recommend you to try their signature Mango Smoothie if you take mango!

We now head over to Central Phuket Festival which is the older wing of Central Phuket. It’s a popular shopping mall in Phuket town before the brand new Central Phuket Floresta opened their doors.

Are you into Chinese cuisine?

I don’t usually eat (China’s) Chinese cuisine but what we had was actually delicious and pleasant. Our Chinese friends from China said that the standard was good enough but of course if you want the best, you still have to head to China itself to have it.
