Do anyone of you know whether Phuket has any shop selling Yonex stuff? And how about the prices? Are they comparable to Bangkok? Thanks for providing the info.
I've been there in 2001, and at least then I didn't really find good sports shops. But perhaps there's some in Phuket town - I didn't really search that place too well. Near the Patong etc. beaches there's only shops selling fake stuff. It is very cheap to rent a taxi even for a whole day (NOT tuk-tuk mind you, they just take you to all possible jewellery etc. shops), so perhaps you should do that and ask from the driver about the shops in Phuket town? Another possibility is to take a bus or taxi to Bangkok (if you have one spare day).
