Pantia Sabak, Khota Bharu fishing village.

A couple of years ago I had the chance to live in the city of Khota Bharu, in Kelantan. It's based in the North East corner of Malaysia.

There was some lovely scenery and nature around Khota Bharu, and I had the chance to go and visit and photograph the small fishing village known as Pantia Sabak.

The boats are richly decorated, and according to my teacher, come from an age old Thai tradition (Khota Bharua is near the Thai border, so also has some Thai traditions.

Please visit.

If you get the chance to visit Malaysia, and decide to head for Kelantan or Khota Bharu, please be sure to check out the village!!! Sunset around golden hour is the best time to capture the stunning boats and the lake.

Stunning and intricate paintwork on the boats.

I colour edit all my pics, and went for the vintage look with this one using Nik Collection Analogue efex pro 2. It's free software and you can add it to Photoshop or Lightroom.
