In the north-east part of the peninsula you will find the city of Kota Bharu. It is the first city you arrive at if come from the east coast of Thailand. It is not only the capital of the state of Kelantan, but also a very islamic place. If you want to experience some rather unspoiled Malay culture then come to this city. There are some nice attractions to explore as a number of museums, the nice central market, a few okish beaches and a number of waterfalls and Thai temples.
Kota Bharu is the capital city of the State of Kelantan. Its an Islamic state. The beautiful people are very warm and gentle.
Alcohol is officially out of order in this State. So, if you are in for an alcoholic drink in your hotel, then you can forget it. Its simply not sold in public buildings. But, however, you will find Chinese, which are living in Kota Bharu, who will sell you beers silently.
Kota Bharu is a real typical Malaysian city. Its still so pure.
Kota Bharu means "new city/new castle", and this serene and peaceful town offers both rich tradition and some magnificent natural wonders. Life here proceeds at a leisurely pace, and the time-honored tranquility of this unique locale is well worth discovering.
Some people think, that Kota Bharu is worth only a stay of one night! Dont do that. I think its the nicest city, that youll find at the East Coast. There is so much to do and to see in and out of the city.
Dont just stay in the city, but make trips into the surroundings. Youll find wonderful temples, large Buddhas, which is peculiar because there are more than 30 Buddhist temples throughout Kelantan. Mostly near the Thai border. This is a surprising number considering Muslims make up 95 per cent of the population. Explore the beautiful caves. Make a boat trip up the river, which departs in Kuala Krai.
