Lorong Kulit Flea Market | Lorong Kulit 跳蚤市场

Formerly known as Thieves’ Market, Lorong Kulit flea market is a must-see when you’re in Penang. Located near the city stadium, it operates daily in the morning. Today, it’s no longer a market full of thieves or stolen goods, nor is it just an ordinary flea market — it’s actually a vintage bazaar.

To get to Lorong Kulit, you can take a bus from Komtar or simply grab a taxi.

Whatever you’re looking for — food, drinks, vegetables, clothes, books, electrical appliances, accessories, antiques, or even live animals like chickens — you can probably find it here. But the most interesting part is the antiques, which are one of the reasons Lorong Kulit is so famous. Old iron, old coins, stamps, porcelain, the kris (Malay traditional weapon), grandfather clocks, swords… these are the kinds of items antique collectors hunt for, at bargain prices that are seriously cheap — you can’t even compare them to eBay.
