About this audio guide
This guide to Batu Feringghi's night bazaar on Penang Island traces how a strip of stalls that began in the mid-1970s selling handmade wood carvings and baskets turned into a kilometer of knockoff watches, sunglasses and branded bags. You'll hear how the craft traders gave way to imported goods once tourism took off, and pick up the haggling ritual regulars swear by: naming a price, looking unimpressed, and starting to walk away. Listen for the vendors' patter as you drift between stalls after dark.
