Good morning I was checking out from D'Mawar Chalet and was ready for Day 17 and Tumpat was the targeted destination. |
Wow, I could see a variety of Kelantanese delicacies like Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Dagang and it was so tempting. I must eat here before I leave this place! |
I opted for a Nasi dagang with a curry mackerel fish and an egg. It was so delicious. After a satisfactory breakfast I bade Tanah Merah goodbye for a new cycling adventure. |
I was mislead by the information found in the internet I thought Bukit Panau has lot of historical stuff to explore and so I went hunting for her. |
Seeing mosques along the way is very common thing and each of them has different architecture and features. This is one of them was seen before reaching Pasir Mas. |
Again I felt excited seeing these old wooden shops in Pasir Mas and there are a lot of them in this town. How wonderful if Pasir Mas could be preserved as a heritage town with these old shops. |
Masjid Gelang Mas with nice golden domes standing beautifully at the road side of Road D23 (GPS : 6.121681, 102.121550). |
Wat Phothivihan is one of the most visited temples out of the 25 Siamese temples found in Tumpat. Located at GPS : 6.130633, 102.137149 and it is about 15km away from Kota Bharu. |
It has the longest reclining Buddha statue in Southeast Asia measuring a length of 40 metres. The one in Penang is about 7 metres shorter. |
My lunch at Wat Phothivihan, a bowl of of Thai Kuay Teow noodle soup. |
The second temple I visited was Wat Kok Seraya it has a big golden stupa. The main attraction is the white statue of the goddess Guanyin which is quite unusual for a Siamese temple. |
At the junction of Jalan Datuk Keramat as viewed from the entrance of Wat Pikulthong. |
Geographically, Tumpat is located north of Kelantan, bordering Thailand across the Golok River to the west, Kota Bharu across the Kelantan River to the east and Pasir Mas to the south |
The East Coast Line of Malaysian Railway Line with Tumpat as the last station. |
Cycling among the school children is common in this part of the country. |
I took a parallel road into Kg. Baru Nelayan which is a narrower road but with lesser vehicles. |
I wanted to stay at Pantai Sri Tujuh but could not find one as all the rooms have been taken up due to a kite festival on that weekend. |
A Kite Museum at Pantai Sri Tujuh |
Luckily I could one just opposite the beach and that was Senangin Resort located at the main road of Jalan Kampung Tujuh GPS : 6.214549, 102.127452 |
I took another ride to the beach and came back to the hotel with some snacks. They were fried prawns in a skewer and fried squids. |
After a hard day cycling I would normally end my routine washing my clothes and uploading the photographs I have taken during that day. |
Day 17 - I have reached Tumpat after travelling for 76km from Tanah Merah. |
