Satok Market
  • As always, ask permission before taking photos of vendors at work.
  • Wild-harvesting orchids is illegal in Malaysia and further endangers the species. Don’t support the trade by buying plants.
  • Don’t worry if you smell drains. It’s almost certainly durian, the spiky fruit so smelly that many Southeast Asian hotels ban it.
  • Satok Market is manageable with a single stroller, although some children may find the odors in the wet market hard going.
  • High kerbs and narrow aisles make Satok Market a challenging choice for wheelchair users.
