The view of the lake from the resort...pretty expensive place..@RM350/- to RM500/- per night.....
This is the only place in this country that one needs to be alert for wild elephants crossing the hwy......
Should be in the state of Kelantan now,......
Pics taken from hotel in Kota Bharu......"Dynasty Inn" @ RM109/- per night with b/fast and bike parking behind the premises. Safe with shelter for 3 bikes max. otherwise it will be without shelter at the back parking lot of the hotel.
Food is plenty nearby within few blocks to the town centre with local and western fast food. People is pleasant although predominantly muslim and the non-muslim is doing well in business. It is much safer than many western states towns and tourist friendly.
To continue on Part 3 for the Day 2 ride from Kota Bharu to Kuala Trengganu and Kuantan.
