Istana Jahar Museum
The Istana Jahar Museum was formally the palace of the sultans, dating back to 1887. Constructed of timber, intricately designed woodcarvings and paneling illustrate the incredible skill and attention to detail, which the Kelantan carpenters are so renowned for. Collections in the museum include traditional costumes and headgears of royalty, portraits and historical backgrounds of the sultans of Kelantan, Japanese notes and other artifacts from World War II and coins. The museum is closed on Wednesdays and Fridays. Admission is free.

Raft Houses
The Raft Houses moored along the river near Jalan Pos Office Lama are an interesting sight, being the homes of many Kelantanese for over 30 years. These houses are built on bamboo stilts and are secure even when the water level rises during the monsoon season, as the stilts have been designed to rise with the water level!

Bulu Kubu Central Market
Bulu Kubu Central Market is a must see, especially if you are a photographer. Here, mostly women traders set up their stalls, many sitting cross legged on mats, selling their produce – be it vegetables, fruit, sweets and ready made food. This market is indeed one of the most colourful sights in Malaysia, adorning many a Malaysian post card.

Wat Photivihan Jambu
Wat Photivihan Jambu, located just 12 km north of Kota Bahru, is a Buddhist shrine, which houses the largest reclining Buddha in Southeast Asia. Tabloids depicting the life of the Lord Buddha, a museum displaying Buddhist culture and a scenic lotus pond are all located within the vicinity of the statue.
