Makro Phuket Wholesale (Vichit Songkram Road)

7° 53.7′ N · 98° 21.8′ E

The main Makro cash-and-carry on the Phuket Town bypass, where restaurants and charter fleets buy in bulk: cases of water, beer and soft drinks, rice, cooking oil, frozen meat and fish, and cleaning supplies at wholesale prices.

Practical

Coordinate from the OpenStreetMap 'Makro cash & carry' node on Vichit Songkram Road, close to Central Phuket and Big C. Makro's store locator lists Phuket, Thalang and Rawai 2 branches; hours appear as both 6am-11pm and 6am-10pm, so check before a dawn run. The Makro Food Service branch in Patong is open 7am-9pm. Other Makro locations on OSM: Wiset Road, Rawai/Chalong (7.8154 N, 98.3396 E and 7.7969 N, 98.3328 E; the first is listed under the Chalong supermarkets entry), Kata-Karon (7.8282 N, 98.3010 E), Patong Na Nai (7.8846 N, 98.3015 E) and Thepkasattri Road, Thalang (8.0200 N, 98.3343 E), the closest to Yacht Haven and Ao Po. Makro's site links to membership terms; whether you need a card at the till was not confirmed, so bring your passport. Goods come in catering sizes, so bring a cool box for frozen goods on the road back.

Best for

Bulk drinks, frozen meat and staples before a long passage
