Pangkor Day 2 - Pantai Pasir Bogak!

Morning Pangkor! Wake up in small rain and the rain stopped after our breakfast! Lucky us! Started our journey exploring Pangkor Island with our rented Proton Saga!

The pink van! In case you don't feel like driving yourself, you can always look for the pink van to fetch you to your destination! The pink van is just like a taxi and it can be found almost everywhere on the island!

So creative!

Road in Pangkor is just simple and straight forward. It should be very hard to get lost on this island if you followed the proper road :P From SPK, we followed the main road, passed by a garbage furnace and reached Pantai Teluk Dalam which located next to Pangkor Island Airport! Yes, there is a small airport here!

The beach is calm and less crowded compared to Pantai Pasir Bogak. Perfect spot for picnic!

Our next stop is Lin Je Kong, which is a temple situated at the edge of Coral Bay and facing the sea! We did not do any praying here but we did snap quite a lot of photos here! We can even see people from opposite beach swimming and struggling on banana boat!

Welcomed by Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse!

Then we drove to the ruins of Dutch Fort before having our lunch at Pangkor town! We almost made a complete round of the island!

The ruins of Dutch Fort on Pangkor Island are the remnants of an outpost of Dutch attempts to control trade in the Malay Peninsula. The fort was built by the Dutch in 1670 for storage and protection of tin supplies from the sultanate of Perak.

The green carpet and the sea in front made this place so photogenic!

Drying Mee Sua along the street!

In the evening, we are ready for the beach! Off to Pantai Pasir Bogak again and we rented a speed boat for island hopping plus snorkeling trip! The boat rental is around RM120 while snorkeling set rental is RM10 per set.

Off we go! The speed boat driver was like very rush and run out of time! We felt like sitting on a roller coaster on sea with super strong wave! The boat driver showed us some animal look-alike rocks before dropping us at the snorkeling spot.

Turtle rock! This one really looked alike!

Whale rock! So coincidentally there is a small tree on the whale’s blow hole!

After that, the boat driver dropped us at Giam Island and left us there… thought that he supposed to be there to look after us?! Anyhow, we were not alone since there were another 2 groups of tourists there without their guides.

Snorkeling at Giam Island is not fun at all! There are rocks around which is full with sharp shell creatures! Some more the wave is quite strong that evening… ended up having some scratches on our hands and legs.

We called our boat driver to pick us up and the last pit-stop of the island hopping trip is the famous Pangkor Laut Resort! The boat driver made a turn under the luxury water chalets and let us had a closer look on the private island! So close yet so far... Of course we were not landing on the island since it is only for its residents.

After that, back to Pantai Pasir Bogak. We had some time dipping in the sea, biting on some snacks while watching the sun hiding back into the horizon line. What a day!

Dinner time! We had seafood dinner at Gao Lao Seafood Restaurant which is just near to Pantai Pasir Bogak! The food is nice but no photo at all since was too hungry! We had been waited for more than 1hour for our dinner! Luckily the food was nice so worth it lol and the price is reasonable, can be said cheap if compared with KL’s price!
