A
state rich in culture and history, Kelantan sees
a strong influence from neighboring Thailand and
the predominantly
Muslim population along its border. Kelantan is
renowned for
its wonderful handicrafts, especially the skill
of its silversmiths, songket weavers and
kite makers.
Don't
forget to pick up some cottage industry products
and sample true traditional cuisine such as
keropok or budu. In Kelantan, you can
expect a rich fusion of traditiona Malay and
Thai food, as well as a number of historical
sites and architectural wonders worth visiting.
The
local economy is primarily agricultural, with
the production of rice, rubber and tobacco
contributing significantly. Often, in between
paddy planting seasons, you can see a mass of
black smoke on the horizon as farmers clear out
what's left behind after the harvest with flame
and scythe. |
