Perhentian Islands Travel|Besut District

🌟Highlights: Besut District is located in Terengganu, Malaysia, and is famous for its beautiful Perhentian Islands. The Perhentian Islands are a paradise for diving enthusiasts, and the nearby waters are home to coral, sea turtles, jellyfish, and other marine life, making it a great place for diving or snorkeling. 🌈Must-see attractions: • Perhentian Islands: The islands are divided into the Big Perhentian Island and the Small Perhentian Island, and have beautiful beaches and clear waters. You can dive and snorkel here to explore the rich underwater world. 🏨Recommended hotels: • Bubu Resort: A high-end resort hotel on the Small Perhentian Island, with hotel-style rooms and villas, offering privacy and a good environment. • Perhentian Island Resort: A 3-star resort on the Big Perhentian Island, with a high cost-performance ratio and a beautiful environment. 🥘Recommended food: • Most of the restaurants on the island serve Malaysian and Thai cuisine, which is affordable and delicious. We especially recommend trying the local seafood, such as grilled shrimp and grilled fish. 🚉Transportation: • You can fly to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and then transfer to a flight or take a car to Besut District. You can also choose to fly to Sultan Mahmud Airport in Terengganu, and then take a car to Besut District. • After arriving at Besut Jetty, you can take a boat to the Perhentian Islands. 📷Tips: • The best time to visit is from April to August, when the weather is suitable for going out to sea. • In Besut District, credit cards are only accepted in some restaurants and bars, so we recommend bringing enough cash. • When diving or snorkeling, please pay attention to safety and follow the guidance of professionals.

✈️ Business Trip with a Local Twist: Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Duration: 2 Days 1 Night Purpose: Business + Light Sightseeing Accommodation: DJ Citi Plaza Hotel & Suites ⸻ 📅 Day 1 – Arrival & Evening City Walk My business trip brought me to Kuala Terengganu, a charming coastal city rich in culture and local flavors. After completing my work duties, I took a peaceful evening walk along Pesisir Payang — a scenic waterfront promenade with beautiful sunset views. It’s a great place to unwind after a busy day. 🍽️ Food Highlight: I tried the famous rojak ayam from a local stall — large portion, flavorful sauce, and a satisfying mix of textures. Highly recommended! ⸻ 📅 Day 2 – Chinatown & Local Delights Finished my work in the morning and headed to Chinatown in the afternoon. A quick tip: most shops and kopitiams (local coffee shops) close after lunch, so visiting in the morning is ideal to fully enjoy the area. 🍜 What I Ate: • Seafood mee hoon soup – fresh ingredients and flavorful broth. • Local coffee and snacks – the perfect way to relax before heading back. • Bought some keropok lekor (traditional fish crackers) — a must-buy local snack! ⏱️ After lunch, it was time to return home. Short trip, but full of discoveries. ⸻ 🏨 Hotel Review: DJ Citi Plaza Hotel & Suites • ⭐ Great location — walking distance to Chinatown, local markets & eateries • 🛏️ Clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms • 💼 Ideal for short business or leisure stays ⸻ 🍴 Food Recommendations • Yin Yin Café – Popular for pork and seafood noodles • On The Way Kopitiam – Wide variety of local dishes and excellent keropok lekor ⸻ 📌 Travel Tip If you have extra time, consider extending your stay for a quick island getaway! • 🏝️ Redang Island • 🏝️ Perhentian Islands Both offer crystal-clear waters, snorkeling, and unforgettable beach experiences just a short boat ride away. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Kuala Terengganu may be a small city, but it’s rich in charm, culture, and flavors. Whether you’re here for work or leisure, it’s worth taking time to explore its hidden gems. I’ll definitely be back — next time, with my beachwear packed #KualaTerengganu #BusinessTripDiaries #LocalEats #HiddenGems #RedangIsland #PerhentianIsland #WorkLifeBalance #MalaysiaTravel#thingstodo
