Attraction - Petaling Street Market Review

Best market in SE Asia

4*

---

Per the title, I had a very positive experience with Petaling Street, having visited many markets already on our travels around SE Asia. My main justification for this report was the fantastic pricing of products (after haggling of course) that out-shone places like Pearl Market in Beijing where prices were a lot higher for identical products. For instance, a good quality fake watch on this street was roughly £8-12, whereas in China they would still be looking for no less than £30-40. The layout is also simple to follow; however, one drawback is it can become very crowded, and very, very hot! The sellers were also not over-assertive, they try to grab your attention but do not literally ‘grab’ you as happened at other markets in Vietnam and Thailand. We did not plan on buying any products during our trip to SE Asia in order to save money for our later travels in Australia, U.S.A and Canada, however the prices were so good that we bought about 4-5 different items which are still all functioning as of the date of this post. If you want to explore a variety of merchandise, and buy a few products then I certainly recommend this market.
