Pangkor Island First Impressions | A Fishing Village That’s Not Quite Paradise

Welcome to Pangkor Island, a small slice of Malaysia on the west coast. Covering just 18 square kilometers, it’s home to a traditional fishing village, colorful boats, and a surprising lack of that classic 'island vibe.' In this vlog, I share my honest first impressions after arriving via ferry and explore the laid-back streets, local life, and hidden corners of the island.

Is Pangkor Island a must-visit or just another stop on the map? With no beaches nearby and a fishing industry that dominates the area, the island has its own charm—but is it enough?

🔍 Join me as I wander through the village, meet the locals (and their dogs), and give you a glimpse of what it’s like to visit Pangkor Island.

💬 Let me know in the comments—what’s your impression of Pangkor Island so far?
