Kuala Terengganu, colloquially abbreviated as K.T., is the administrative capital, royal capital, district and the main economic center of Terengganu, Malaysia. Besides being a major political and economic centre to the state, the city is also the main gateway to many of the state's tourist destinations. The attractions in and around the city include Kampung Cina, Pasar Besar Kedai Payang, Terengganu State Museum, and Batu Buruk Beach. Even though the city is not spared from modernity and development, Kuala Terengganu still retains strong Malay influences that are intermixed with other cultures from its long history as a port.

We had a wonderful time. Whenever we talk about our trip with others, we often start with how cool of a website we found to plan our trip. All of the hotels we booked through you were excellent. We will definitely be using your site again on our next vacation, whenever that may be!

Thank you for helping to make our trip smooth and memorable. Most of the hotels were quite nice and the service was great, especially at the Doubletree by Hilton where they were very accommodating. I did take advantage of the information you provided regarding suggested sites, I found your website very helpful and I have already recommended it to various friends before travelling abroad.
