Shopping

The oldest street market in KK city. Stalls open from as early as 6am, until mid-day around 2pm. Most stalls start packing up around 12pm. Best to go early in the morning before it gets scorching hot towards noon. Gaya Street Market sell almost everything. Souvenirs, locally-made goods, fruits & vegetables, gardening supplies. Best part is those little trinkets you can find! Quick tip: Bargain away to get your best value. Maybe use that extra cash to offer support to the blind association offering foot massages?
