Pasar Payang





The Central Market, locally known as Pasar Payang, is located by the Terengganu River and is one of the most popular tourist spots in Kuala Terengganu. Housed in a modern building, it offers visitors a variety of traditional handicrafts such as batik, silk, songket, brocade and brass ware, as well as fresh produce.

Visitors to this market will have a delightful experience shopping for local products at reasonable prices. It is also a great place to experience the culture as locals do their daily shopping there too.

Key tips:

While there, try a special local delicacy called Keropok Lekor, which is a crispy wafer made from a mixture of fish and sago. It is meant to be dipped in a chilli based sauce. Delicious!

By foot or Taxi.
Pasar Payang lies in the center of Kuala Terengganu and is easy to get to from wherever you might be staying.
