Kelantan - The Cradle of Malay Culture

Kelantan located on the north eastern corner of Peninsular Malaysia and shares a common border with Thailand in the north, is a state of veritable treasure trove of delights - rustic fishing villages, palm-fringed beaches, lush rice fields and traditional pastimes such as kite-flying and top-spinning. The people here have managed to preserve their age-old customs and traditions. Thus, Kelantan is aptly dubbed the 'Cradle of Malay Culture'.

Kota Bharu, the bustling state capital emanates an old world charm and offers tourists the opportunity to witness a microcosm of the unique Kelantanese way of life. The sights, sounds and colours that are authentically Kelantan can be captured at the Central Market, an irresistible treat for shutterbugs. The colourful and lively atmosphere of the bazaar, dominated by women traders who sell a wide variety of vegetables, seafood, cakes, batik, handicrafts and preserved food is truly a sight to behold.

Kelantan is noted for its cottage industries such as batik-printing, silverware, wood-carving and songket weaving.
