History

للمزيد من المعلومات: Kingdom of Besut Darul Iman

There is a lack of written evidence on this district. The records by Munshi Abdullah in his book, Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ke Kelantan, and Tuhfat al-Nafis by Raja Ali Haji touched a bit on Besut. Due to this, there are many stories that tell the matters regarding the origin of Besut.[4] There is a legend that recounts the tale of how Besut got its name.[5] According to this story, when the region was under Siamese rule, the district was named "Besut" which originated from the Siamese word "Be" meaning "district" and "sut" which means "a distant area" or "at the end." This story could be plausible since Besut is located quite far from Bangkok.[5]

The islands are well known for their tropical reefs, scuba diving, and snorkeling.[10]
