Cherating is a relatively quiet place at night, so there aren’t that many night activities in Cherating. However, you can visit a night market a short distance away from Club Med Cherating to enjoy some delicious food or do some minor shopping. Why should you go to a night market, you ask? Even if you are Malaysian, going for Club Med Cherating’s night market excursion is worth it for several reasons.
The Pasar Malam (Night Market): A Popular Night Activity in Cherating And Nationwide
Night markets are a staple in Malaysia, so it’s not just a night activity in Cherating alone. Going to a night market brings back great memories for most Malaysians; the scent of various yummy foods in the air, vendors shouting out to attract customers, being able to shop for almost anything you could want like slippers, shoes, cheap clothing, gadget accessories, and more… It’s just one of those things you did with your family, with the night market being a weekly haunt so your mother could top up on her fresh grocery items.
The thing about night markets is that they are different across the nation, while still having the same lively ambience. What differs is the collection of food items on sale, because every state has its speciality staple foods. This is why even if you have a night market near your house elsewhere in Malaysia, you should definitely pay a visit to the one near Club Med Cherating as well!
