Workation in Kuala Terengganu: the essentials
Alcohol is scarce and the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday in Kuala Terengganu, the conservative royal capital of Terengganu, about 440 km north-east of Kuala Lumpur. The city of around 375,000 sits where the Terengganu River meets the South China Sea, and its official title is Waterfront Heritage City, which fits the restored Chinatown, the drawbridge and the Crystal Mosque on its island. Sultan Mahmud Airport is about 7 km from the centre, with flights to Kuala Lumpur, and Redang and the Perhentian islands are within reach by road and boat. The catch is the north-east monsoon, which shuts the islands down and brings heavy rain from about November to February.
