Pulau Panjang - Long Island

SATURDAY 25th AUGUST 2018

Pulau Panjang ( a name that if translated means long island ) well, is actually not an island. It just a land that is separated from the main land, and divided by a river. This river is so big that you have to get across using a long bridge.










There is no means of transportation can get thru this place, accept motorbike or bicycle. Or else, walking is the best way. While you walk, you can admire the view of a long stretch that looks like an island.

Pulau Panjang is a village. Most of the people here are fishermen. It is a quite and peaceful place where you can come a while and enjoy the privacy. If you feeling hungry, don't worry, there are stalls that sells food.











You cannot spend the night here, because there is no hotels or chalet available. Most people come here for day trip. The longest you can spend here is between 1 to 2 hours top.

Come and have a visit here if you have the time. The beautiful view of the beach will surely catch your attention.

Enjoy !

Tak Bai - The Border

SATURDAY 25th AUGUST 2018

Tak Bai, under the provice of Narathiwat ( Thailand ), is a small town that links between Malaysia and Thailand borders via Tumpat, Kelantan. Getting a cross the Ko Lok River ( Sungai Golok ), you can either take the small passenger boat, or a big one if you driving your own vehicle.






As you pass your way thru Pengkalan Kubor immigration, you will see a small landing area where people waiting for the boat. The fare for each person is RM1.20. The crossing will take 15 minutes to reach.







What awaits you on the other side is a small town where lots of trading happen. You can find almost everything here, from foods, cloths, shoes, watches, etc. Its like a small intro for what is Thailand all about if you consider yourself a first timer.







From here, we take the tuk tuk and make our way to our next destination.
