  • We are visiting Malaysia’s border with Thailand and spend a day at a Malaysian village right on the border to Thailand
    Welcome to episode 37 of my trip all around Malaysia. If you haven’t seen the previous episodes you can watch them here:
    ➡️ • Traveling Malaysia - A...
    I am still in Kota Bharu in the Kelantan state of Malaysia. This state shares a border with Thailand. I’m always interested in visiting towns right on the borders, that is normally pretty interesting. There is a kampung (village) right on the border called Rantau Panjang. What’s really interesting here is that half of the town is in Thailand and the other half is in Malaysia. Separated by a river. So, we decided to visit this Malaysian kampung and explore around and see what’s life like right on the Malaysia Thailand border.
    When you travel southeast Asia, you are going to cross probably quite a few borders. Mostly it is easy to cross border between countries in southeast Asia. But in these days, all of the borders are closed. Traveling southeast Asia is therefore not really possible at the moment. This makes it even more interesting to see what’s the border between Malaysia and Thailand looks like in these days.
    Could you imagine living in such a village right on the border? Let me know in the comments ⬇️
    Check out Steve & Ivanas video from our trip to this Kampung as well:

    After the Corona Lockdown, it is now possible again to travel Malaysia. In the next weeks I will travel Malaysia (all around the country) and make daily vlogs about it. I will show you how to travel Malaysia, how to do backpacking Malaysia and show you what it's like to solo travel around this country in southeast Asia. So, if you are interested in backpacking southeast Asia in general or specifically interested in backpacking Malaysia, then this series of my Malaysia travel vlogs might be interesting for you.
    How is it to travel Malaysia 2020 after the Corona lockdown? Will there be tourist or will I be the only one? How to travel Malaysia on a budget during this time? We are going to find out all of this in the upcoming weeks, daily vlogs from now on, documenting my whole trip traveling Malaysia, so stay tuned, if you are interested in travel Malaysia by yourself or travel southeast Asia in general 😊

    I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and make travelvlogs about it. So here on the channel we will be exploring different countries, cultures and beautiful places here in southeast Asia together. You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
    There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, so if you want to join my trip and start traveling southeast Asia together with me just subscribe now and start the journey together with me. Join the #teamabroad community here and be part of the travels around southeast Asia.
    After traveling southeast Asia and backpacking southeast Asia for a year now I can truly say it’s my dream destination and it is unbelievable amazing. It's quite easy to travel on a budget in southeast Asia, which makes it so popular for foreign visitor to come and travel around here. The cultural diversity in this part of the world, the food, the people and the beautiful landscapes, beaches and mountains make it my absolute dream right now to travel southeast Asia. I’d like to show you all of this in my videos, that’s why I am documenting all my journeys in form of travel vlogs from southeast Asia on my channel.

    I’m from Pattani Thailand. I drive many times crossing that border to Rantau Panjang. We go shopping and eating halal KFC. Often driving further to Kota Bharu. I speak my local dialect with the people there. I regard them all my relatives, easy for me to blend with unlike I was in other parts of Thailand. I feel strange there

    6:25 Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 split the lands owned by Malay (majority muslim) states and the lands were given to Siam (now known as Thailand) by the British. That is why Thailand southern borders have high population of muslim.

    1) The river IS the border.
    2) Few decades ago, both nationality can use the river. But now for better border control Malaysia forbid use of boats on the river. The river is not exclusively Thailand.
    3) People of southern Thai are actually Malay people, it was Malay sultanates, up north to the Phuket and Ko Samui region. In early 19th century, Thai conquer the sultanates in fierce battles. In late 19th century Thai force use of Thai language and brutally punish opposition's.
    4) Malay language and Islam is not strange in Thailand. I can go to Phuket and survive knowing only Malay. Almoat all staffs of 7-Eleven can still speak some Malay. Even some of the airport officials (immigrations and custom) communicated with me in Malay.

    The last time I visited Rantau Panjang was 15 years ago. My recent visit to Kelantan didn't allow me go there because I was told about the changes happened since covid 19 outbreak. When I watched your video, those advice was indeed true. For many years Malaysians love to visit Rantau Panjang because of the cheap goods produced by Thais such as football jerseys, rice, crocodile brand cookware, bedsheets or toto where locals call them and some them buy Thai rice. Great, I enjoy watching this episode.

      Let me correct that.
      Southern Thailand is ethnically Malay, and the Malays of that region are indigenous [ native ].
      Old Malay kingdoms such Pattani and Langkasuka had existed for centuries in that region before they were invaded and became part of Siam.
      The Malays of southern Thailand therefore consider themselves, and rightly so, as an occupied people and their homeland as being occupied by the Thais.
      So they are NOT separatists.
      They are independence fighters.

    The southeastern part of Thailand used to be the Malay Muslim state of Pattani. During the Anglo-Thai Bangkok Treaty the states of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan & Trengganu were given by Thailand to the British. Only Pattani remained. The Malays of Pattani waged an independence war against Thailand. But since the 1950s the war had become a guerilla war by a small group of separatists.

    For your info bro, the villages near the border are mainly Muslim population & they speak Malay rather than Thai.

    Barbican is said to be a style of carbonated malt drink from Middle East. A lot of fruity flavour to choose from.
    Since Rantau Panjang is close to Thailand, the weather is hotter than other places in Malaysia. You should try lokcing and Rantau Panjang Ice Cream during the hot sunny day. And also Pulut ayam (sticky rice with fried chicken).

    Many years ago together with my friends, I took a sampan across the river without our Malaysian passport or border pass. Once across, we took a few minute motorbike ride to a small town nearby for a fee. After, exploring we came back across the river, the same way we went. Then, the town of Rantau Panjang had rows and rows of shops selling Thai handicrafts and souvenirs. Basically, Rantau Panjang was a destination to shop for inexpensive handicrafts and goods.

    Hi Ken! I'm Din here, saw you waiting for the bus to get back to KB yesterday. I can say you only explored 5% of Rantau Panjang, sorry. But here we're famous with a variety of street foods with mixed Thai-Malay touch, as well as like the jersey's seller said; the copy stuffs eg. jerseys, bags, jeans, toys, utensils & etc. You just need to walk a little bit at the junction of signage "This is Rantau Panjang" then you will see an ocean of stall/small shop sellers. If you had spare time not knowing where to go, please come again. I will show you around, from a local perspective. Enjoy being part of Kelantanese culture for the time being!

    Ah yes, I remember the locals around that river telling me once that they used to just swim across that river whenever they wanted to go into Thailand without going through immigration. At some points along the river, you could just walk across the river to reach the other country. For some, the river is actually a divider between family members as the river separated two Malay regions, one under Malaysia, the other under Thailand.
