KOTA BHARU is a town located in Kelantan, in the northeastern part of Malaysia (close to the Thai border). Best known for its rich cultural heritage, it can also be a foodie haven.
How to get there:
From Kuala Lumpur, you can fly directly to Kota Bharu, or take a coach from major bus stations, or take the train (Kuala Lumpur - Gemas - Wakaf Bharu).
How to get around:
There are public buses, taxis, and trishaws, but to me, the easiest way is by Grab, as you also get to know the fare beforehand, thereby reducing the risk of getting ripped off.
Where to stay in Kota Bharu:
We stayed at ASLAH BOUTIQUE HOTEL right in the city center, close to all the major attractions.
