Kelantan's Absolute Essentials

Kelantan offers a distinct cultural landscape shaped by its proximity to the Thai border and deep Malay traditions. This collection features the octagonal Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah, a hub for local commerce, and the War Memorial Museum housed in a 1912 colonial building. Religious landmarks range from the traditional Muzium Islam to the dragon-themed Wat Maisuwankhiri. Natural highlights include the high-altitude Gunung Stong and the pine-lined Pantai Senak, alongside the 2nd Friendship Bridge connecting to Thailand.
