Pantai Air Tawar is located at Kampung Raja, Kuala Besut ,Terengganu. It's so fun and entertaining with the crowds since we visited during weekends. It is good for our mind relaxation and get rid all of stress of work. There are so many people especially during weekends. Pantai Air Tawar is a very beautifull fine sandy beach and the view of the island located nearby is so amazing. There are a few restaurants which served local delicacies and as well as hawkers stall selling varieties of food. If there is more attention from local authority to clean up and properly maintained the facility, this beach will be better and become a happening tourist attraction in Kuala Besut. #awesomepic #mytripvlog #beachlife

A weekend well spent at pulau Perhentian besar. A relaxing trip with stunning sunset views, awesome food and drinks at the resort are the key highlights. It is a summer holiday period and the resorts are expected to be crowded. However that did not affect the fun. The resort was well equipped to take care most of the needs. Nice to see so many happy faces from all over the world enjoying the beach vacation.

My well deserved break from the daily grind. Arrived at Perhentian island (Besar) for a short weekend getaway. Great ambiance, beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere. Hope to make full use of it. Staying at Barat, I am assigned a nice chalet which is clean and welcoming. Looking forward to spend some time at the beach to catch the sunset in one of the surrounding beaches facing west.

#GetDiscountNotRelyingOnLuck Masjid Lapan Kubah is located in Terengganu, Malaysia. It is a mosque with 8 domes, so it is called Lapan, which means 8 Kubah, which means dome. It is a colorful rural mosque with a wide courtyard. Most tourists who do not come to pray come to take pictures. There is a 2-story building for tourists to stand and take pictures. It has a beautiful angle, like a Turkish mosque. Another recommended place to remember #masjidlapankubah Coordinates https://maps.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x31b6f1dc76160ab3:0x37a6f3044bb5317e?entry=s&sa=X&ved=1t:8290&hl=th&ictx=111

It was such an impromptu decision to take up on scuba diving. Nonetheless, I think it was the best decision ever. Spend a week to enjoy the island like local, made alot of friends from all over the world, ate good food and finally became a certified diver. I decided to stay at the Panorama Dive Center. If you take any scuba diving course, you’ll get a free accommodation, breakfast and unlimited coffee/tea station. The service here is very welcoming. I love how all the staffs are very attentive. Most importantly, it was very safe for me here as a solo female traveler. Will definitely repeat here.

Nice experience

🌊Help! I was speechless at the beauty of Sandbank in Redang Island! It deserves the name of “Little Maldives”! 💞Recommended reason: Beautiful😍😍😍 #Maldives This secret place hidden in Malaysia, the sea water is like an overturned gradient blue palette, with layers of shades from mint green to deep royal blue. When the tide is out, a super healing crescent-shaped sandbar emerges from the sea. Walking barefoot on the flour-like white sand, every photo you take will be an Instagram-worthy blockbuster! When snorkeling, you can also encounter colorful coral reefs, schools of tropical fish, and even the occasional cute sea turtle! The sunset on the island is even more atmospheric, and the orange-pink sunset turns the entire sea into a gentle dream. While there are not too many people, quickly make an appointment with your friends to go! #Redang Island #Niche Travel Destination #Island Resort Ceiling #Summer Mua #Movie Filming Location This is also the classic movie filming location of "Summer Mua"! The romantic scenes in the movie are still vivid in my mind, and now I finally check in in person~ #perhentianisland #perhentianmarriott #PerhentianMarriott Resort
