    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.
