Pangkor!

Pangkor is the cheapest vacation place I've ever been to. Seriously cheap. 3 days and 2 nights for Rm 200, including souvenirs and food, everything!

We took a bus from Klang to Lumut. From Lumut, we took a ferry to Pangkor. It took us around 4 hours to get there and we didn't have to wait long for the bus also. Rm 16.60 for one way. The ferry was Rm 10 for two ways!

It was a really great that we found a place to stay, which was really cheap and comfortable. A two-storey terrace house, equip with Astro, Air- cond, water heater and everything else that you might need. All for RM 30 a night/ person. Talk about budget!

But the best part was that we managed to found a rented car for just RM 60 for 3 days!! And it wasn't a small and faulty car but it was a new Proton Iswara.

It was just a small island, and the view was just average. The nicest beach there was the one in Teluk Dalam. The water there is much cleaner, the beach was quieter and best thing is that you won't find any screaming kids running around the beach. But the setback was that the road leading to Teluk Dalam was very dangerous, very steep and a lot of sharp curves. But it was worth it.

There wasn't much interesting places there besides from the beach. There were Dutch Fort and a few temples. That was all. But the main reason for me to go there was the food!!
The seafood was very fresh and depending on where you eat, it can be very cheap. The first night we were there, we ate Fried Sotong, Laksa Fish and a vege ( can't remember what vege was it). All for Rm 10/ person. The fish was really really nice! The restaurants in Pangkor Town was a bit expensive, and wasn't so fresh also. The best place to eat is in the Chinese town, slightly after the jetty, near the huge Chinese temple. It's much cheaper and fresher there.

If you want to buy some souvenirs, try buying dried satay sticks or dried fish fillet because it is much cheaper and more variety there. I suggest you to buy in Lumut town, which is much cheaper and please, don't ever buy in Teluk Nipah! They are mainly for Kwai Lohs and foreign tourists. And because they are so many of them selling dried food, you can always haggle with them. We really had fun bargaining with the traders there and we did it in a good and polite manner, mind you.

All in all, it was fun and best of all, it didn't burn a hole in my pocket! ;)
