Kelantan Pengkalan Kubor

Pengkalan Kubor is a mini town at Northern Kelantan.

Pengkalan Kubur is located at Golok River estuary and bordered with Tak Bai of Thailand.

There is no bridge joining Bak Tai and Pengkalan Kubor. The residents of both border towns cross the river by boat or Ferry.

This is Pengkalan Kubor Jetty. It's built behind Pengkalan Kubor ICQS Complex. The residents of Tak Bai and Pengkalan Kubor board ferry at this jetty.

There were cars queuing at Pengkalan Kubor Immigration Building and waiting to board on ferry to Tak Bai.

A few vehicles were taking turns to board on ferry which would cross the river and heading to Tak Bai.

Sri Tanjong Ferry was on the way to Tak Bai on the other side of Golok River. This ferry carried both vehicles and passengers.

This is the ferry fares notice board.

This sign board is reminding passengers about the last trip of the ferry. As you can see from the photo, the last trip of the ferry is at 6:30 pm.

This greeting foreign tourist sign board was seen at Pengkalan Kubor Jetty. The photos on the sign board are related to cultural heritage of Kelantan.

We snapped a few pictures of Pengkalan Kubor Customs Department when passed by there. Not many vehicles or pedestrians exited from customs building.

In case you are visiting Pengkalan Kubor, you shouldn't miss visiting Pengkalan Kubor Duty Free Zone. It's situated beside Pengkalan Kubor ICQS Complex.

Apart from clothing, a wide range of foods are available at Pengkalan Kubor Duty Free Zone. We dropped by this stall to buy some cashew nuts and tamarinds.

The price of the cashew nuts was not expensive. I can't remember how much per kilogram. We finished the cashew nuts when we were stopping at Kuala Trengganu.

These tamarinds are imported from Thailand and quite tasty. You have to beware so that you not swallow any worms in the tamarinds.

Besides cashew nuts and tamarinds, this stall also sells layer cakes. These colorful layer cakes are very beautiful.

I truly like Pistachios. Not certain these pistachios are imported from Thailand or other countries.

Pickled foods are also sold at Pengkalan Kubor Duty Free Zone. If are fond of pickled foods, you can buy until satisfied.

Dodol is also can be bought at Pengkalan Kubor Duty Free Zone. There are various colors of Kelantan dodol but Malacca dodol only with dark brown color.

Pengkalan Kubor Duty Free Zone visitors park their vehicles at Pengkalan Kubor ICQS Complex. A lady with her kids had finished shopping and going to leave.

It happens that a by-election will be held after the death of Pengkalan Kubor Assemblyman Datuk Noor Zahidi Omar from BN on August 20.

Based on Election Commission (SPR) source, the nomination date is on September 13 2014 and the polling date is on 25 September 2014.
