Go, Golok, go

The larger-than-life town of Golok across the Kelantan-Thailand border is famous for just two things . . . shopping and nightlife.

SUNGAI Golok — or Sungai Kolok or simply Golok — seems nondescript, even banal, at first sight. This small town of 40,000 in Thailand, just across the border from Kelantan, has no shopping mall ala Sungai Wang to speak of, so for your shopping fix, you’d have to trawl the streets and browse the ubiquitous rundown shops.
