Homeward Bound

 Time to say good bye to Pangkor. It has been a great holiday here and I certainly do not feel like leaving this place. But then, all good things will eventually come to an end. Looks like I got to start planning for another outing at Pangkor after this.

Sun, Sea And Surf

 This had certainly turned out to be a great holiday for the family. Choosing Pangkor was certainly a right move as it was a perfect getaway from the city. Sun, sea and surf. Perfect combination.


Mini Great Wall

 They call this place the Mini Great Wall of Pangkor, although I personally do not see anything great about this place except that it was just a place filled with characters and items from the Chinese mythology. Again, like other things here in Pangkor, nothing much have changed here.

 For kids, this place is great simply because there are many spots for photography. Like this rabbit from the Chinese horoscope. One thing I must really say about this place is that it looked like it really needed some maintenance and upkeep.




Seafood

A trip to Pangkor will be incomplete if you do not stop at one of the many factories producing the famous Pangkor's cuttlefish. The smell may be unpleasant but once you have tasted the cuttlefish, you are bound to be looking for more. 

For the record, seafood industry like cuttlefish, anchovies and others have put Pangkor on the map as the main producer of preserved and fresh seafood. Infact, more often than not, you will be able to see visitors to the islands carrying bags upon bags of their purchase when leaving the island.

Siamese Boy V2.0


The Siamese boy? Hardly. These photos really reminded me of Amsyar when he was small, when his mother would wrap him up in his towel after bath. Thus the Siamese Boy name.

You can say that this is the female version of the Siamese Boy...


Pangkor - A Slow Pace Life


This is the second time we are staying here...the Puteri Bayu Beach Resort. It was great to see that this place is still around as the last time we were here was more than 10 years ago. This place may not be Club Med. But who cares. You do not need only Club Med to enjoy yourself.


The resort is still the same like I remember. Actually, to be frank, nothing about Pangkor really change that much. With slow-pace life here, it is therefore the perfect getaway for a holiday and to escape from the hustle of city life. Give me another chance and I will likely choose this place again.


The fact that this resort is located next to the beach made it even more worthwhile. Of course its locality was also a plus-point as everything around here just continue at a slow and leisurely pace. This is really something that I can get use to.


Holiday Time

Time to relax and sit around doing nothing in the lobby after roaming around in Pangkor. As usual the little girl was unable to keep quiet and as usual, had to keep a close watch on her so that she will not be up to some of her tricks.
