Well, if you have some spare time in KB try to visit a woodcarving shop, my own recomandation is at 4373-B J.Kebun Sultan. The people working there is very friendly and they will most certainly show you around and maybe you can pick up some woodcarving. I did, made myself a wooden Gecko lizard (actually a hybrid, looks like a crossbreed between a Monitor Lizard and a Gecko), and the little bastard is on display right here! The woodcarving master Iszhal bin Ismail is a friend of me and would be happy to show other interested persons around (gives him a chance to practice his english, which is already good). |
The
number one place to go is the Perhentian Islands (they
are not part of Kelantan, but its so close that most
people going there goes via KB). If you fancy beaches,
snorkelling, diving and the like this is the place for
you. I spent a month on the small Island. Tried to catch
some fish but they were very hard to trick. And then
there is snorkelling....You can expect to se the usual
coralreef-fishes, and then if you are lucky...Napoleon
fish, Blacktip reef sharks, Turtles, Grouper's(BIG),
Barracuda, plus lots of other things. I saw a really BIG
Grouper, must have been around 20-30 kg poking around in
the corals early one morning, also got to se Napoleon
fish (Enourmous app 80kg), Muray eel etc. This place is
truly one of the best snorkelling places i have been to,
No1 is Pulau Wee on the nortern tip of Sumatra, but that
is not discussed here (Puerto Galera, Philippines is a
very close No2). Most GuestHouses in KB will arrange
transport to the ferrys (about 1 hour with shared taxi,
they still have those old 60's Mercedes in KB and some of
them in mint condition!). If you have expensive cameras
etc, wrap it in waterproof plastic bags, the final
approach to the island is by small boat and it's a fact
that they sometimes during rough weather capzise!! Your's truly don't have any good pictures from Perhentian to add to the Image Gallary, maybe you could help me out with this? If so, please send me a mail. |
Do you have any suggestions of what to do around KB, please share your experiences with the rest of us, send a mail |
