Kelantanese are some of the most tolerant people in M'sia. Shorts and sleeveless t-shirts are DEFINITELY not a problem, men or women. I work there few days a month.

Love the Wat Phothivihan... and about the under currents, you should submit it with "Dangers", It is the same along the South-coast of Java, very dangerous... Thanks anyway, greets RoyJava, The Hague Holland
