Serikin Weekend Street Market is held every Saturday and Sunday in the village of Serikin, very close to the border with Indonesia. Vendors from both sides of the border set up their stalls selling a range of products from Sarawak, West Kalimantan and elsewhere in Indonesia.

Bornean snacks

sweet potatoes

Some items are rather touristy with inflated prices but others are reasonable and can be improved with a little haggling.

The market is arranged on either side of the main road and the distance from the parking area to the end of the street is about 500 metres, so there and back is 1km. The weather here is often hot and sunny so a hat, umbrella and sun protection is required. Unfortunately traffic still crawls along the street while the market is in progress so it can feel a bit congested and chaotic.

There are places to eat here and there is a public toilet.

We enjoyed our trip to Serikin Weekend Street Market. It is a nice place to visit once in a while.
