    A unique palace turned museum which house interesting antiques. The building itself is one of a kind as it was built without the use of any nails, nuts or screws

    Good place to learn about malay kelantanase traditions. Just RM2 for entry per person. You get to see traditional malay weapons, royal family and local cultural traditions.

    Should pay a visit with rm2 for entrance. You will love the history and the architecture

    This gives a glimpse of life in the Palace in good old days. However, I find there are not detailed written description of items displayed. On the whole, because the entrance fee is cheap, It is still alright to pay a visit, afterall, there are not much things to do or see in Kota Bharu.
