Subject: Where to go in KT / Merang?
In reply to: Viking 's message, "(Urgent) Transportation Help" on Fri, May 30 2003, 13:44:42

Thanks, tango.

The agent charged me at RM30 for the transport from KT to Merang. (oh yes, i'm not sure this charge includes the way back to KT on check-out day!)

Actually, i planned to get on a night coach from KT to KL after the resort package. Does anyone suggest where to go in KT or Merang for my afternoon and dinner?

You can have your afternoon lunch, tea-break or dinner at the hawker stalls at K.T. bus terminal. Next to K.T. bus terminal is a shopping complex. I think "The Store" supermarket is the anchor tenant. Behind this building is the K.T. estuary - a river mouth, there is a really old light house there ... may be a picturesque spot for some folks.

We walked from here towards the Hotel Grand Continental and saw things that were from our childhood days that don't exists anymore where we live. Basically, a Kampung type dwelling exists along the banks of the estuary; an old man mending his fishing nets, kids playing after school, the old cock struting & cock crowing, showing the younger roosters who boss, ducks waddling right in the middle of the lane next to the main road where the bus terminal plys, etcetra. It was nice seeing something different live instead of watching it on the local t.v. documentaries.

If your're into Chinese 'Tze-Char(?)' type food (non-hala), there is a "Restoran Straits" south-west from the bus terminal, about 50 metres across the main road into a two lane road. I don't know the street name. Two, three minute walk from the bus terminal. Good food at reasonable prices.

The Hotel Grand Continental has hala food served buffet style for breakfast, lunch and dinner, also food is served at the pool side if you're into that sort of ambience and atmosphere.

I hope you will enjoy K.T. before it changes into one of those urban sprawling cities :( I live in one, I should know ;)
