The Perak river mouth at Bagan Datoh

On Thursday 19th March, me, the wife, my dad and mum went to Selekoh in Bagan Datoh to attend a cousin's wedding reception. As the place was only 7 km away from the small town of Bagan Datoh, we decided to pay a visit afterwards, along with a few other relatives.

For Bagan Datoh is the closest town to the Perak river mouth...

Just look at the width of the river from here... it must be more than 1 km, perhaps 2-3 km across. For the record, the Perak river is the biggest and longest river on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. While the Pahang river on the east coast is longer, from my observation the Perak river is wider at least towards the river mouth.

A look from the jetty. There's some kids fishing here...

A look at the small town from the jetty. The town is so small, it probably have at most 4 rows of shophouse totalling some 20 shops or so...

What I do like is the view of the Perak river here. Seen here are my family members...

Actually it is still some 10km or so to the actual river mouth which could be seen in this picture, heading west from the jetty.

But the width and immensity of the river in Bagan Datoh is already huge enough to reflect on what's available at the actual river mouth. Just look at this picture... this is actually heading inland towards the east, opposite of the river mouth.

Here's another look across. That's all...
