A great way to jumpstart your Sunday morning tour. Gaya Street market opens only on Sunday morning. I love the atmosphere. The colours of painting, handicrafts and garments. The sounds of birds chirping and people haggling. The aromas of local delicacies. Take your time to browse through the merchandise displayed and you might discover something you really like to take home with you.

What to buy: Pets - puppies, tortoises, tropical fish, hamsters, birds, rabbits etc.

FengShui figurines.

Household Items

Potted plants, fruit plant - lime, mango, even durian tree.

Fresh flowers. Fresh fruit. Fresh vegetables.

Souvenir items - key chains, bracelets, woodcarvings, seashells, T-shirts, caps etc.

Local cakes and desserts

What to pay: Cheap but don't forget to bargain.

Address: Gaya Street
Theme: Other
