[an error occurred while processing this directive] Pulau Kapas (GPS: 5.21985, 103.26624) is a small island in the South China Sea off the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the state of Terengganu. The name Pulau Kapas means "cotton island". The island is surrounded by crystal clear water with live corals growing in places. It is ideal for snorkelling and diving.

On Pulau Kapas are a number of small resorts offering basic accommodation and meals. They can become very expensive during the Malaysian school holidays, when all the rooms are fully booked.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
