KUALA TERENGGANU & PULAU PERHENTIAN TRIP

( JUN 2006)

Terengganu located at the east cost of Malaysia. Eventhough this was my trip 4 years ago before being as a blogger but i still wants to share the best part of Pulau Perhentian , Terengganu.


Departure from K. Lumpur at 9.00am and it took nearly 7 hours to reach Kuala Besut, Terengganu. The boat to Pulau Perhentian end by 3.00pm so we decided to stay one night at Kuala Besut.


day 01
5.30pm Reached Bukit Keluang Resort, Kuala Besut, Terengganu. Very tired through out the journey from kl..7 hours day travel. Bukit Keluang Resort is a nearby resort to stay. It is around 2-5km to Jetty Kuala Besut.

The resort is ok..but the food there gud and cheap!! If miss to get the boat to Pulau Perhentian before 3pm, i suggest u guys book earlier at Bukit Keluang Resort...not so expensive and worth it just for sleep and rest. The rate is between MYR 80 - MYR 150 pernight..

veranda at night


6.00 pm check-in and as usual my 2 kids felt bored after 7 hours spending time in the car. Hence we all quickly rushed to swimming pool to cool our body... ushhh...best!!!




small swimming pool but it's ok ..


8.00 pm dinner time. What to eat? No need to go anyway, the resort got a few stalls for us to taste terengganu foods.
