Who says pork is not
available in Kelantan?
This photo is a proof for revealing the smear of MCA and Gerakan.
Pork not only can be purchased in Kelantan, it's sold openly at pork market in Kota Bharu. It's different from the states rule by BN because pork is sold in closed space in those states.
During BN ruled Kelantan, pork stalls were at the top level of this building.
After the fall of BN, PAS government moved the pork stalls to the ground floor of the building. It's clear that PAS is more liberal than BN.
Pokok Pinang Market is just beside the pork stalls. The sellers of the stalls are Malays. This unique situation won't happen in BN reign states.
Golok River is regarded as the border between Thailand and Malaysia. The residents of both banks of Golok
River cross the river by motorboat. The fare is RM 1.00 per person for one trip.
In case you are not willing to drive to Golok, you can park your car at Rantau Panjang. The car park is next to Rantau Panjang bus and taxi terminal.
You have two options of getting to Golok from Rantau Panjang. You can either take a motorboat ride or walk across Malaysian-Thai friendship bridge to Golok.

There is an Erawan shrine in Wat Photivihan. Worshiping Erawan will fulfill four wishes. The four wishes are love, career, health and wealth.
After visiting Sultan Ismail Petra Mosque, we were heading to Rantau Panjang at the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Rantau Panjang is located at North-western Kelantan and separated from Thailand by Golok River. Residents of Golok and Rantau Panjang travel back and forth between these two places by taking motor sampan.
There are many roadside stalls at Rantau Panjang. Most of the stalls are operated by women. Goods sold include dry food and Kelantan local fruits.

Kelantan people are helpful and friendly. The police officers on duty also display smile on their faces. In case you lose your way or have question, they are ready do you a favor to solve your problem.
