  • Pangkor Island in Malaysia
    Pangkor Island in Malaysia Pangkor Island is referred as 'Pang Ko', meaning a 'Beautiful Island.' Ravishingly fresh sea beaches, soothing sound of waves mildly hitting the shore, gentle and aromatic breeze under the mellow sun, and different shades of blue are what a traveler associates with the Pangkor Island – a territory owned by Malaysia. This tropical island near the western coast of the country is a picture-perfect destination with white sandy beaches and lush green forest doubling up the fun. It's not without reason that the Pangkor Island is also referred as 'Pang Ko', meaning a 'Beautiful Island.' Apart from the sun, sand, and sea, this sleepy island gives you the reason to be carefree. History The Pangkor Island was a territory owned and inhabited by sea pirates and local fishermen. It has also been a British and a Dutch colony. The Tiger Rock on the island is where a fort was built in the latter half of the 17 th century by the Dutch colonizers to take control of the tin business and put off threats from the locals and the pirates. The British named the place as 'Monkey Island', which later came to be known as Pulau Aman (meaning peaceful island), and eventually, as Pangkor Island. Pangkor Island Attractions & Activities 1.) Pangkor Island's most popular beaches – Teluk Nipah and Pasir Bogak – are the perfect hotspots for indulging in activities. Go fishing with the locals and accept the challenge of trying snorkeling, scuba diving, and wind surfing. The operators around these beaches offer good deals for jet skiing and Banana Boat rides.
