Where to Find Stationery Shops in Phuket

If you’ve just moved to Phuket with kids, or you’re mid-school-year and suddenly need black bristol board, a hot glue gun, and a packet of googly eyes by tomorrow morning, this post is for you. Phuket has more options than most people expect, from proper stationery warehouses to small local shops that are genuinely worth knowing about.

This is the one to know first. Jula-Pan is a stationery shop in Chalong that somehow manages to stock almost everything, in a space that doesn’t look like it should. Backpacks, pencil cases, pastel highlighters, ninja erasers, cellophane, black bristol board, hot glue, gouache paints, wooden colouring letters, gift bags, stickers. If you’re the kind of person who finds stationery shopping genuinely enjoyable, you will not leave empty handed.

They also do printing on site. Black and white copies are 10 THB per page, with an extra 1 THB per copy. Colour printing is 15 THB per page. Useful to know if you need something printed quickly without driving across the island.

It’s a solid first stop for school supplies in Phuket, particularly if you’re based in the south.

If Jula-Pan is the neighbourhood gem, Kiatsin is the warehouse. It’s a two-storey stationery mall in Phuket Town packed with everything from basic office supplies through to full art and craft ranges. The selection is seriously good, parking is easy, and it’s the kind of place where you go in for one thing and come out with a bag full. Worth the drive if you need to do a proper school supplies run.

Not everything needs a dedicated stationery shop. Depending on what you need, these options are all worth knowing.

B2S is the most reliable chain option for school supplies in Phuket. Both Central Festival and Central Floresta have a branch, and the range covers notebooks, pens, folders, markers, crayons, art supplies, and gift wrap. It’s well organised and consistent, which matters when you’re shopping with a list and a child in tow.

Big C is not pretty, but it gets the job done. Most locations carry standard school basics and lunchbox supplies, and prices are noticeably cheaper than the mall options. If you’re doing a bulk run or just need the essentials without paying a premium, Big C is a sensible stop.

These are not stationery shops, but they’re worth mentioning for craft supplies specifically. If you need a hot glue gun, tape dispensers, stationery organisers, or general craft tools, all three carry a decent selection. Mr. DIY in particular is useful for budget craft basics and is dotted around the island.

These are scattered across the island and vary a lot in terms of what they stock. Some are brilliant for a last-minute run and will surprise you with what they carry. Prices tend to be very low. Worth keeping your eyes open as you get to know your area, because a good local shop close to home is always useful.

If your child does art at school or at home, Jula-Pan and Kiatsin both carry a reasonable range of art supplies in Phuket including paints, brushes, and drawing materials. B2S is also decent for art basics. For anything more specialist, it may be worth ordering online through Lazada or Shopee, which both deliver across Thailand reasonably quickly and affordably.

One genuinely good gift idea if you’re ever stuck: pick up a plain gift box from Jula-Pan and fill it with paintbrushes, gouache paints, stickers, and wooden colouring letters. It looks thoughtful, costs very little, and kids actually want it. Skip the glitter though. Nobody wants glitter.

Knowing where to buy school supplies is one of those small but genuinely useful bits of local knowledge that makes settling in much easier. It fits into a bigger picture of things worth understanding before you arrive, from choosing the right school through to finding the right area to live.

If you want to talk through any of it with someone who actually lives here with their family, that’s exactly what the consultation call is for.

Jula-Pan in Chalong is the standout local option, stocking a wide range of school supplies, craft materials, gift items, and offering on-site printing. For a larger selection, Kiatsin Stationery Mall in Phuket Town is a two-storey warehouse that covers everything from office basics to full art supply ranges.

The main options are Jula-Pan in Chalong, Kiatsin in Phuket Town, and B2S inside Central Festival or Central Floresta. Big C is worth considering for cheaper bulk basics. Small local stationery shops are scattered across the island and can be useful for last-minute needs.

There is no dedicated craft superstore in Phuket, but Jula-Pan and Kiatsin between them cover most craft supply needs. HomePro, Baan and Beyond, and Mr. DIY are also useful for craft tools like hot glue guns, tape, and organisers.

Yes. Small local stationery shops around the island tend to have very low prices. Big C is also a good option for cheap school basics. Jula-Pan is reasonably priced for what it offers and is far cheaper than ordering internationally.
