Jungceylon Shopping Center is now ready to unveil its refreshed look with new immersive concepts to elevate the retail experience for worldwide visitors. After undergoing extensive renovation, Jungceylon, one of Phuket’s largest malls, is set to unveil its new appearance following an asset enhancement initiative (AEI) to reposition the mall as “The Oasis of Shopping in Patong” – a one-stop destination offering fresh and immersive concepts in this lively and convenient locale. Mr. Prawit Janyasittikul, Chief Executive Officer of Phuket Square Co., Ltd., which manages Jungceylon, said, “We are delighted to mark Jungceylon’s new chapter with the completion of the AEI, which includes a full transformation of the mall, from refreshed and reconfigured spaces to new retail concepts. The development and renovation plan began in 2022, covering over 200,000 sqm with an investment of over 1 billion baht. The shopping mall now boasts over 300 stores fully operational across all four distinct zones, each thoughtfully decorated with nature themes to evoke a sense of freshness and relaxation.” It’s not only Jungceylon’s revamp; the hotel adjoining the mall, formerly known as Millennium Resort Patong Phuket, has also undergone a complete makeover and has been rebranded as M Social Phuket. Additionally, the highlights of the new look include four zones curated for multifunctional purposes and diverse interests. The Jungle Zone: A four-story building along Patong Road 2, beside the main entrance to the shopping mall, and connected to M Social Phuket. It is decorated with the concept of "Amid the Shady Trees," featuring a tropical resort mall style with lush greenery and wildlife-themed architecture and interior design. The Botanica Zone: A three-story building adjacent to Patong Road 3 and M Social Phuket, decorated with the theme "Color of Flower Blooming." This zone adds a vibrant touch with flower sculptures and gazebos in a modern park style. The main anchors are Big C, Robinson Department Store, and SF Cinema, featuring numerous fashion brand stores. The Bay Zone: A semi-outdoor multipurpose area in the heart of the shopping mall, with a "Sense of Sea Breeze" theme. It features a large junk boat and art sculptures of dolphins and whales in a central pool, surrounded by schools of fish and colorful jellyfish, creating an exciting and vibrant oasis. This area hosts promotional events and showcases leading stores such as Shabushi, McDonald's, Fuji Japanese Restaurant, Le Siam, KFC, Tim Hortons, and Superdry.
