Pulau Pangkor Travel Forum

how much does it cost by taxi or is there public transport to pangkor from kl.. how long does the journey take?

From Thailand (Ko Lipe)I have to go to Malaysia for a short time, just to stamp out/in. What is the best and cheaper of the two islands? I look for clear water and nice atmosphere and I do not want to spend much. Could anybody advise?

can anyone recommend a good dive centre in Pangkor to get my PADI Openwater please?
And do you know if its possible to take the written part in London first?
thanks!

I will be heading for Pangkor this festive season and I'm heading there by car. From the postings, I gather that I will have to get to Pangkor by ferry. My question is, can any of the ferries bring the car over or do I park on the mainland? Any recommended safe place to park?

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone..I'm new here.
I hope someone will help me out...ok .here it goes..
Me and my friends will be camping at the south of pangkor..which is below of Dutch Fort in the map..
This is actually my first time there so I don't have any idea how it looks like..I'm a "follower"..
The problem is, we're going on 21st of October which will be the final weekend for the Formula 1 season! and it will be Schumacher's last race! *clash*

So, I decided..on Sunday (22nd) afternoon, to check in a nearest motel with TV and astro..I'm not sure whether 8TV is broadcasting it because the race is on 1:00 am...

Well..this is what I need...
- a cheap place to stay for a nite.
- a place to watch the F1...anywhere near the motel ( best if it's in the motel)...mamak..pubs?

I hope you guys will help me out...
thank you very much!

Hi,

We're two couples visiting Pangkor Island in late February staying until early March 2006. We have two small children. We'd like to stay on Teluk Nipah and are willing to pay some R100-150 for an aircon chalet with attached bathroom.

We will arrive on a Monday or Tuesday. Do we need to book ahead or can we just expect that there will suitable accommodation for us anyway? Is this considered to be high or low season on the island?

Is there any nice place to have some beers with other young people or a good nightclub on the island?

Thanks a lot!

I plan to go to Pangkor island at 28 january for 4 days / 3 nites. i m looking budget accommodation rate between RM40 - RM 60. Help me!

i would like to know if there is any damage at pungkor laut resort and at the area after the earthquake&tsunamis.
also i am interested to know what malaysian authorities predict about the safety of the area for upcoming weeks...

Dear Forum,

I'm interested in a week on the beach, perhaps at the Pangkor Island Beach Hotel. I would be grateful if anyone knows:
1) Of a direct way to contact the hotel (preferably website/email but phone number is also useful)
2) Of any recent feedback - I can see from this forum that there is mixed feedback as to quality, service and food, and the layout of the resort. Is the Pacific wing very out of the way?

Thank you,

Alyson, London
