Traveling in Pangkor Island, Malaysia.



Pangkor island is the one of the famous island in Malaysia. The island is located in Perak, East Malaysia. I went to the island last winter. Wow, the clean and beautiful beaches, full in ancient fishing villages and nature tropical rain forest that was made me so impress. Please don't miss the sea-products like dried cuttlefish, small dried prawn, anchovies (ikan bilis), salty fish, etc. You must get to Lumut's jetty and buy a RM10 ferry's tickets to go to the island. Lumut is the small town near to the island. If  you drive, you can stop your car in parking lot in Lumut, RM20 per day. The best transport for traveling the island is motorbikes, RM25 for 24 hours. If you don't know how to ride a motorbike, you may take a van or rent car.



Don't forget your motorbike license!! RM4 petrol is enough to ride for whole day.


These are the Pangkor taxi.

This is a shopping street just next to the Pangkor jetty. The street is very short. Remember to visit the whole shops in the street before you take action to buy some things. Ask discount!!! If they don't give any discount, then go to another shop, maybe you can get a cheaper prices.
