Dato Kramat Market

Dato Kramat Market (28 February 2013)


Dato Kramat Market (GPS: 5.41326, 100.31096) is one of the older markets in George Town. It is located near the junction of York Road. It marks the end of Jalan Air Itam and the beginning of Dato Kramat Road. This section of town is known in Hokkien as See1 Kham1 Tiam3, meaning "Row of Four shophouses". I have to say I am not sure whether the four shophouses that gave this place its name still exists.

The Dato Kramat Market is built in the Art Deco style. Today it still functions as one of the main markets in town, despite its relatively small size.

Getting there

Coming here by car will be a problem, as parking space is very limited - you can try to find some along Jalan Utama, near the Penang General Hospital, some 10 minutes walk away. It is a better idea to use the bus. Rapid Penang Bus 201, 202, 203 and 204 pass through here.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
