Much of Kelantan is covered by rugged forest terrain and boarder to Thailand at the edge of east coast of West Malaysia. In the 18th century, the provinces came under a powerful warrior named Long Yunus whose descendants presently make up the royal house of Kelantan.
Kelantan's economy is based mostly on agriculture, fishing, cottage industries and tourism. The state is rich with Malay culture, offers traditional sports like giant kite-flying, top-spinning, 'silat', bird-singing competitions and exquisite handicrafts such as 'songket', 'batik', silverware and 'mengkuang' products.
