Pengkalan Kubor (Kelantanese: Kaley Kubo, Jawi: ڤڠكالن قبور) is a small coastal border town in Tumpat District, Kelantan, Malaysia, bordering Tak Bai, Narathiwat, Thailand across the estuary of the Golok River.
Along with Rantau Panjang to its southwest, Pengkalan Kubor is a popular place for duty-free shopping.
Geography
[edit ]Pengkalan Kubor is situated on the northern extremity of Kelantan, on the eastern bank of the Golok River mouth. The Golok acts as a natural international boundary between the state on the Malaysian side and the province of Narathiwat on the Thai side. The town of Tak Bai sits right across the river.
Unlike Rantau Panjang and Bukit Bunga, there is no bridge linking the town with Thailand. As of now, vehicles entering from both sides are subjected to ferry service.
