Khui Thai Seaside at Teluk Kumbar

It is the seaside view again. Last year, I was like so happy when travelled to seaside! Maybe staying at seaside makes me feel more freedom! Anyway, I did my first time driving to Khun Thai Seaside. Not going for food but just for photography. I was like crazy about photography last time and until today I still love photography! :D

Khun Thai is a seafood restaurant name but for those outsiders they will called this place as Khun Thai Seaside. Anyway, the real name at here is called as Gertak Sanggul. The seaside here is very nice and the sandy beach is quite okay and the water is not that dirty like Teluk Kumbar.

Walking along the seaside, you can get better feeling instead of living under the stress in the city. This place is not blocked by any islands and the beach walkway is quite wide. It is a good place for model shooting or portrait shooting for those photographers who would like to do so.

Not to forget to visit Khun Thai seafood restaurant too as i was using their walkway to come over to the beach. Well, i think it is a great place which will full of people at night especially during holidays or weekends. I never have the dinner there but I tried it once, it nice and spicy! The original Thailand taste. 

Some decorations at the restaurant. I got a feeling like being inside the jungle which near to seaside. We could have the food inside it. How nice is it right? The good food with good place makes the perfect dinner feeling. I usually heard of many people brought their families to there! 
Lastly, this is the "Khun Thai Taxi" which placed in front of the restaurant. I don't think it can move and just the decorations outside the shop. Final conclusion, this is a good place and hope it will last long and no big development there along the beautiful seaside! :D Posted by GenYong 19.02.2013

Random Visit to Teluk Kumbar

I got a friend living at Teluk Kumbar, on last semester I used to fetch her home after class. Well, she is my primary school mates and also my local friend too. After dropped her home, I went to Teluk Kumbar seaside to take a look for the beautiful scenery.
I wonder that the little seaside estate was well developed as the modern living housing estate called as Sunway Aspera. The houses at there were directly faced to the sea and in front of that having a service road which can see the seaview and enjoy the sunbath too...
The pretty seaview of Teluk Kumbar. You can view it widely at here. Better advice is come during sunset, because the sun is really bright, perhaps you can snap some photographs of sunset living too! :D
The developer Sunway Properties has planted the conifer plants at the sea side and tends to make it as a little "Gurney Drive". I liked the environment there which you can witness those fishermen how they capture the fish and you can even buy the fresh raw seafood from them. There is also famous for fresh raw prawns!
I snapped myself before I left the beautiful place which near to my hometown. I hope this place is not over developed and the fisherman jetty should maintain and the kampung village should upgrade as well. The friendly people and the pretty environment especially beautiful sandy beach should be maintained! I Love Teluk Kumbar, do you? Posted by GenYong 29.11.2012

Gertak Sanggul Driving Tour

Hello guys, I am sorry because I was busy in preparation on my exam previously and busy on managing the Facebook page too. I will blog more about that soon! :D So let's review the blog post that I haven't show up here:

Recently, I was interested to spot the sunset and capture for the sea view around Penang. I found that around my home are having a lot of places to capture for nice photos. I was driving to Gertak Sanggul alone after dropping my friend back to Teluk Kumbar after class ends. Well, I was first time driving there and I was like "rusa masuk kampung" and saw a lot of motorbikes around and there was less car compare to the city.
#1 Here is the place, my friend always said here is the end of Penang Island... Yup because there are no road access to anywhere and you can just U turn back.
#2 The place I like because of having the beautiful seaside and the beautiful seaview.
#3 The nice seaview I had ever seen there!
#4 I feel that this is the nice photo taken and I made it as artistic style.
#5 The kids were playing on the spoiled ship.

#6 I love this little jetty, I think this was no longer using but it was like a good place to view the sea and relax your mind. Not bad!

#7 The spoiled ship is hold with the strong and thick string to balance the ship.

#8 Yes I was there myself and try to camwore myself... Funny right? xD

#9 Gertak Sanggul is a small village which near to sea and hill. Inside the village there is a primary school and few kampung houses. The seaside there was so nice and clean!

#10 It was like a forest there and it's good for relaxing your mind.

#11 The only bridge to reach the small village and this bridge is the only way for people to go out to town.

Gertak Sanggul is located after Teluk Kumbar. You will need to travel another 10-15 minutes to reach the small village, and the road was small and less car. Be extra cautious because the road is quite bend! Once you reach there, must check out the seaside there and maybe visit their village. There is something interesting there! I am glad that Penang still have such places for relaxing... Hope it lasts long! Posted by GenYong 04.11.2012
