Tour highlights

  • Explore the Serikin Border Weekend Market, a one-of-a-kind marketplace located along the border between Malaysia and Indonesia
  • Discover rare finds and a cross-cultural array of goods, including antiques, textiles, traditional medicine, and fresh produce
  • Engage with local vendors to learn about their crafts, traditions, and the unique blend of Bidayuh and Indonesian cultures

  • Taste a variety of local snacks and traditional foods available at the market

Step into a one-of-a-kind cross-border experience at the Serikin Border Weekend Market, the only open-air marketplace along the Malaysia-Indonesia border. Nestled in the small Bidayuh town of Serikin, this vibrant weekend market is unlike any other in Malaysia. Here, you’ll encounter a rare fusion of indigenous Bornean lifestyles, traditional Indonesian influences, and age-old customs that predate modern borders – a true glimpse into life before the formation of Malaysia.

As you weave through lively stalls filled with handmade crafts, Indonesian batik, traditional medicines, fresh produce, and textiles, you’ll feel transported back in time. This isn’t your average market. It’s an off-the-beaten-path cultural journey, where every purchase carries the story of a borderland community shaped by history, trade, and shared heritage. Engage with friendly local vendors, discover unique finds unavailable anywhere else, and return to Kuching with authentic souvenirs and deeper appreciation for Borneo’s enduring cross-cultural spirit.
