BOT PENAMBANG (TRADITIONAL WATER TRANSPORT)



Bot Penambang – Water Taxi – It is an important mode of transportation of local  community  that  lives  on  the  other  side  of  the  river  and  it  also  plies between dotted islands in the estuary of Terengganu River. Made from hard wood and by famous local boat builders, the design has not changed over the years. The  completion  of  the  Terengganu  Bridge  means accessibility  to  the local  communities  and  many  can  afford  to  buy  their  own  means  of transportation nowadays, the islanders still thinks it is the best way to beat traffic jams. Leave their cars near the jetty, pay a small fare you can make a trip  across. Tourists  make  a  trip to  Seberang  Takir,  a  sleepy  fishing  village just  to  observe  the  slow-paced  way  of  life.  Watch  the  process  of  making sliced keropok, dried fishes and squids or visit few batik cottage industries, all within walking distance.
