Bukit Bunga (GPS: 5.83505, 101.90127) is a border town on the Malaysian-Thai border in Kelantan. With the opening of the Bukit Bunga-Ban Buketa Bridge on 21 December, 2007, it became yet another border crossing between the two countries.
Bukit Bunga is located about 30 km from the town of Tanah Merah, which is the exit from the East West Highway. It is located across from the Thai town of Ban Buketa in Narathiwat Province. The name Bukit Bunga means "flower hill", although there is no clear explanation how it got this name.
The town of Bukit Bunga is actually a cluster of small villages, among them Bukit Nangka, Cedok, Jenub, Kampung Bukit, Renab and Tokpe. The people are mostly Kelantanese Malays.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
