Pangkor Island 24-27 December 2007

We left KL by car in the early morning of 24 December 2007 for our holiday. I have been to Pangkor Island many times and this was my wife’s third visit and each visit we stayed at different hotels or chalet. We had lunch in Lumut near the newly constructed multi-level parking complex, we managed to park our car at the ground level. After lunch we proceeded to the jetty, bought our tickets and waited 15 minutes before boarding the ferry.

After landing at Pangkor jetty, we took a mini-bus to Teluk Nipah for RM 10. Luckily our hotel was very near to the main road. Do you want to know how I got the hotel ? This time I searched the net and ended up with Nipah Bay Villa at Teluk Nipah. You may find it at http://pangkornipahbay.com for details. Was the hotel nice ? For me, I have only one complain, no breakfast provided during our stay, they said the cook went back to her village..balik kampung la tu…. Anyway, there are plenty of accommodation nearby, all within walking distance, mostly chalets, such as Pangkor Indah Beach Resort at http://www.pangkorindah.com , Lyana Villa 605-685 3393, Ombak Inn, 605-9585223, Suria Beach Resort 605-6853922, Hornbill Resort 605-6852005, Palma Beach Resort http://www.palmabeachresort.com.my , Florabeach Resort http://www.florabeachresort.com , Pangkor Bay view http://www.pangkorbayview.com , Lala Chalet 605-6855112 and Mizam resort http://mizamresort.com , basically they are the same, price wise a variation of 10-15% ..some charges RM 100, others maybe RM 110 !

So, what do you do in Pangkor Island in 4 days and three nights ? For me, I jumped into the sea during low tide…and cycle around the island when I am not in the water ! That was what we did, only we used a scooter for RM 30 a day and made many trips to different parts of Pangkor. For meals, we had many meals at Teluk Nipah itself and at different shops in Pangkor town and Pasir Bogak. I enjoyed swimming and indulged in water sport activities during the day and enjoyed the grilled fish in the evening. Grilled fish or ikan bakar was expensive… but tasty !
