Pangkor (with pictures)

Recently I went to Pangkor for a day trip and honestly, I found it overrated. There is nothing much to see on the island apart from the Dutch Fort and of course the beaches. We completed a tour of the island within 1 1/2 hours. I was disappointed with the attractions but the beaches were awesome.

To be honest if you're going there to sight see, then abandon all plans. If you are going there to relax and chill by the beach with a beer and a good book, then this will be your destination.

I do not want to write too much because there are many pictures to see and I will leave you with them.

Some of the pictures are from Lumut.
