Chow Kit Market (GPS: 3.16393, 101.69938) is a wet market in the Chow Kit neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur. This is believed to be the largest wet market in Malaysia. The Chow Kit Market is located along Jalan Raja Alang, just across the road from Plaza Safuan. The market serves the population of Chow Kit and Kampung Baru. During market times, you will see the market spilling out into the side streets.
The main section of the Chow Kit Market is along Jalan Raja Alang. On the Jalan Raja Bot side is another market building called the Raja Bot Market. At time of writing (July 2017), this market building is slated to be demolished, to make way for the Raja Bot Market Complex, to be built on its site.
To the side behind the main section, is a long, sheltered bazaar which is also part of Chow Kit Market.
The roads around Chow Kit Market can get very congested with market stalls. (15 June, 2017)

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
