Redang Batik Art




Redang Island is great for its pristine white broad beaches and snorkeling activities. At one part of the long beach stretch, one can even find corals and baby sharks (they're vegetarian of course). My son also discovered 2 pairs of spectacles and a 5 ringgit note. Snorkeling is great fun at the Marine Park or even better in the middle of the ocean. Too bad I don't carry an underwater camera case along. For weekend night activity, one can stroll along the breezy beach (don't forget to bring along a torchlight), listen to sweet sentimental songs being played by a live band or hop over to Laguna Beach Resort for DJ disco partying.

One activity though that often goes unnoticed is batik painting. For a fee, one can spend a meaningful half day learning the art (plus you get to show off your painted T-shirt or canvas to your friends back home). The lady below is kind enough to let me take snapshots of her beautiful creations:
