Kelantan
                        
			

                        
			One of the northernmost states in Peninsular 
                        Malaysia, Kelantan Darul Naim borders Thailand in the 
                        north, Perak in the west, Terengganu in the south-east, 
                        the South China Sea to the east and Pahang in the 
                        south.
                        
			As the state shares a border with Thailand, and, 
                        indeed, was once under Thai rule, it's not surprising to 
                        find a strong Thai influence here in the local cuisine, 
                        architecture, and, of course, among the local 
                        population. The capital, Kota Bharu, is a good place to 
                        sample this culture and cuisine, and also makes a good 
                        base to explore the surrounding countryside. Kelantan is 
                        a unique travel destination because of its splendid 
                        beaches, rich cultural heritage, ornate handicrafts and 
                        wood carvings.
                        
			Women have always played a major part in the economy 
                        of the state. The handicrafts they produce, from 
                        Kelantan silver to baskets and cloth, are are some of 
                        the best in Peninsular Malaysia and are much sought 
                        after by both foreigners and Malaysians themselves. The 
                        Kelantanese seem to favour huge items and everything is 
                        big from the kites to the tops and the drums known as 
                        Rebana Ubi.
