I was relating it to Hawaii, but I have no idea how is it like now with the covid situation. Hope someone who has recently been there can enlighten us.
I visited the Phuket Hermes store while on the island - lovely window display with a Lindy on display but not much stock inside. It’s a smaller store in an upmarket mall in the old Phuket town.
There were 3 larger silkIn wallets for display only but no SLGs for purchase; limited silks; very limited RTW ( like about 7 items for women) and a similar small range of shoes. The SA was very nice but said they had no bags/ leather and that birkin / Kelly was on a waitlist system - nothing available even to view. She said a lot of people from Bangkok used this store for purchases and bags often went to them. I think she was genuine and this seems plausible as it’s a short flight from Bangkok and the Bangkok stores are prob hugely popular - in fact they had no stock too!!
So not what I had hoped - as Phuket is on the quieter side wrt tourists at present so thought the Phuket store might have had a buildup of stock. Phuket is a relaxing lovely island to visit but unless you are a local wanting to use it as a “home” store, it’s not worth visiting just to look for a bag.

Despite all the reviews I found on Google the boutique was marvellous, really for a resort island location it’s a hidden gem. The SA I was shopping with (btw she was May and she’s been working here from the very beginning) offered me with a Chaîne d’Ancre bracelet I’ve been chasing about a year! Display bags were awesome too they even offered me a Clocodile Roulis Noir but I’m no longer a fan of exotics.
So as usual be patient, be respectful and you’ll get what you’re looking for at Hermes. The same rules really are in place as at your regular boutique. And FYI the data base in TH is different from the EU one, so your local SA won’t know 🤐
