Padang Matsirat Night Market (GPS: 6.35378, 99.73017) is one of five night markets that take place at various locations in Langkawi. This one at Padang Matsirat is held every Sunday. It occupies a site off Jalan Lapangan Terbang, at the parking lot of the historic Beras Terbakar site. As night falls, the parking lot turns into a large night market area.

The Padang Matsirat Night Market is a place where tourists get to observe the locals go about their daily lives. It is also a good place to shop for local delicacies, from local snacks to fruits. There are sections for food and another for clothings and toys.

My wife and I visited the Padang Matsirat Night Market together with four other bloggers when we were staying at Temple Tree at Bon Ton. We were brought to the night market by the resort manager Mr Amir to give us a taste of local life in Langkawi. We bought some fruits called bidara and ten sticks of satay, which we brought back to our hotel suite to enjoy. The satay stall was doing very good business, and we had to queue a bit before we got to buy ours. The area was congested with shoppers and tourists. Mr Amir packed the car in the parking spot of Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Matsirat across the road.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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