南国島〜〜マレーシアコミュのPulau Pangkor (パンコー島）

Pulau Pangkor is an island off the coast of Perak in north-west peninsular Malaysia.t is heavily promoted as a low-key tourist destination by the Malaysian government, but fishing and fish products remain major industries.
Pangkor is famous for its fine beaches and a mix of low budget to 5 star accommodations. Teluk Nipah and Coral Bay on the north west of the island is extremely popular with travellers from Europe. The quality of sand is far more superior in the Pasir Bogak Beach as compared to elsewhere on the island. The sand is golden brown, quite similar to most leading prime beaches.There are a few resorts in Teluk Nipah or Nipah Bay.

Accessibility and convenience of travelling by road and by air to Pangkor will be progressively enhanced in the next two years (2006-2008) due to the completion of the upgrading workings of Simpang Pulai – Lumut 4-lane dual carriage highway (which is nearing completion), the West Coast Expressway and the introduction of more flights, including AirAsia services. It will certainly be possible to arrive at Lumut within 2 – 2 1/4 hours from Kuala Lumpur, and much less if it is by air.

Currently Berjaya Air is the only airline that is operating flights to Pangkor Airport (PKG), from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) with its 48-seats Dash 7 turboprop airliner. They are expected to be replaced by ATR 72.
