Kuching - Sunday Market

One of the most interesting places to visit in Kuching is the Sunday Market. The Market is only set up from Saturday afternoons to Sunday noon. It is located at the backstreets of Satok Road.

The Sunday Market is like a Farmers Market. Here, traders, wholesalers and farmers gather to sell their produce. You can get anything from meat, fish, vegetables to clothing, houseware and even decorative plants. 

The market is quite big and takes a while to move through. Good thing is it's divided into sections, so if you know what you want you can just go to the right section. As it is usually quite packed, it can be a bit of a squeeze to navigate through all the stalls. Beware of pick-pockets when you go.

Besides the common products, you will usually come accross something strange and unfamiliar. It is these unsual discoveries which make the Sunday Market so fascinating.
