Bukit Mertajam Market

Bukit Mertajam Market (10 December 2016)


Bukit Mertajam Market (GPS: 5.36336, 100.46011 on Jalan Bunga Raya), or Pasar Awam Bukit Mertajam, is a wet market in the heart of Bukit Mertajam town. It is located along Jalan Pasar, facing the junction of Danby Street. The market occupies a two-storey building, were the ground floor is occupied by the wet market while the upper floor by dry-goods stores.

The Bukit Mertajam Market is especially busy in the morning when market activities is in full swing. This results in much of Jalan Pasar being congested. The façade of the market facing Jalan Pasar is now boarded up, so much of the market activities is on the side facing Jalan Bunga Raya, where there is more space for market stalls.

Getting there

The nearest bus stop is along Jalan Muthu Palaniappan, some 10-15 minutes walk away. It is served by Rapid Penang bus 701, 702, 709 and 802.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
