I am pretty sad because I went to this border town for only 2 times a year. I would say this place is really an awesome place.
I said it’s an awesome place, but it’s not because of its shopping of Thai goodies.
Gapura Square, the main shopping arcade. Note it’s not air conditioned.
Also not because I can be fascinated by influx of Thai motorbikes.
Not also the presence of so-called duty free watch shop, which only sells hyper expensive watches (some are over 100K).
But this is where Padang Besar makes sense for its BORDER TOWN status.
YES, duty free complex which is located after Malaysian Checkpoint, before crossing the actual Thai border.
What’s even more important inside is THIS.
I CAN GET DIRT CHEAP LEGAL BEER. YES, you heard me right, 100% legal cheap beer!
Not only beer, the liquor section here is simply fantastic and freaking cheap!
Wide selection of wines, whisky, brandy, gin, rum, you name them, all at really low prices!
For example, guess how much is this 500ml can of Heineken sold here?
FYI, it’s only sold for RM3.90! Walao eh! And I don’t think I can never find this at normal shops anywhere else!
That’s why I say, for me a beer freak (not really la, but close LOL), no.1 thing in Padang Besar, is surely BEER section at duty-free complex.
Probably because of that that earned my friends and I a free urine test by National Anti-Drugs Agency when we were going back. Hahaha!
God bless you all!
