The cute little town of Kota Bharu has a lot to offer. We intend to highlight the artsy side to it through this post.
Where: Jalan Dato Pati, Bandar Kota Bharu, 15000
Landmark: Near the State Museum, behind the line-up of shop-houses
Let’s dive in:
Vibrant hues and painted doorsHarvest season: plucking fruits, dates and berriesSpotted this tiny fish near the crevices of a shop houseI thought I was going to paint the town red – looks like it went the other way roundDo you see letters, numbers or a figure?Perfect example of a 3D representation“Hello” says the ‘Simple Life’Of prayers and blessings…Tip: Take a sharp turn around the corner so that you don’t miss the adjacent wallIf you’ve watched the Shadow Play or Wayang Kulit, you’ll know what this is about…Let’s fly away: Check out the detailing on the carpetI love Bahaso Kelate (local language)Beautiful conversations through the window…Palestine war depictions all along the wall…Drinking water, village styleWhat do you think it is? I think it’s centred around an explosion.When it’s all about the space: power rangers and more…Eeks! That’s a rat…

Beautiful! I must visit one day! If you’re ever in Bangkok (Thailand), make sure you visit Chalerma Park (aka. graffiti/street art paradise!) 🙂 Looking forward to your next post!
Kota Bharu does indeed have so much to offer along with the street artists. These are such beautiful pieces of art and so very creative. I would love to visit each one some day. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
The street art is mind blowing and i loved the way you have composed this post. The vibrant colours are making this place so beautiful. Loved everything here.
That is amazing! I never thought that Kota Bharu would have so much street art! Lovely photo’s and you really inspired us to visit Kota Bharu ourselves.

Woah I had no idea that there was street art in Maylasia but as a fellow street enthusiast I would be excited to check it out! I love how colourful it is!
Awesome street art! Absolutely stunning… Its always so much fun to hunt for street art! I’ve photographed some in London. Looking forward to check out my current city now!!! Esp the one with 2 men sitting, is so 3 dimensional!
This street art is amazing! I love exploring street art when I travel as I really feel it gives you a good feels of a new place – and it’s great for photos too!
I’m blown away by the street art in this cute little town! Would love to visit Malaysia one day and will definitely have to put this town on my list! detourswithdaisey.com
I am a massive fan of street art ever since going to Berlin a few years ago. Kota Bharu looks like the places for me. I love the details which are in these pictures and how you can interact with them. Thanks for putting Kota Bharu on the map for me.
Kota Baru looks like an open art gallery. I love how the art complements with the details n the walls and on streets. And you have made more justice to the art by framing it so well.
It is a beautiful concept, and the murals are amazing. Thanks for those kind words, I try to spread a word about the city I live in , as it’s not too well known. Cheers!
