2025 Tanjung Pinang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#timetotravel Travelers have a hard time putting a pin in Bangkok's personality. Most first-timers see this city as one caught between the past and the present. Ancient temples and modern shopping malls comprise Thailand's capital, and Buddhist monks and regulars of Patpong (Bangkok's red light district) share the city's streets. The contrast can result in an exhilarating yet chaotic setting. With that said, Bangkok's dynamic environment requires a lot of energy. Consistently hot weather and persistent crowds take their toll on unprepared visitors. Yes, the city seems to boil over with everything from humidity to humanity, but it's this exotic overabundance that charms travelers. Here, you'll find the world's largest open-air market, a world-class aquarium housed in an eight-level shopping mall, a 150-foot golden Buddha statue and so much more. It's a city of vast surprises, so savor its delightful incongruity. #bankok #travelbankok #visitbankok

#springitinerary Woven into the fabric of time, the ancient banyan trees of Bintan rise like spectral guardians, their gnarled roots gripping the earth with the wisdom of centuries. Here, at the heart of their tangled embrace, stands the mystical shrine—veiled in whispers of legend, its air thick with the scent of incense and quiet reverence. The veins of these towering sentinels pulse with echoes of ancestors, binding the past to the present in an unbroken rhythm. Step into their sacred shade, where shadows dance with history, and spirits linger, awaiting those who seek to uncover the forgotten truths of the land. #bintan #banyantreeshrine

The atmosphere at this cafe is incredibly serene and cozy. Its distinctive treehouse concept adds to its charm. The staff is attentive and friendly, always ready to assist. The ambiance exudes comfort, making it the perfect escape from the usual. What sets this place apart is its extensive tea menu, offering a diverse range of flavors and origins that cater to every palate. Their tea selection is accompanied by detailed descriptions, providing insights into the tea's origin, flavor profile, and brewing recommendations. I adore their smoothie bowls. They also have a little karaoke room next door. But it's sound proof ensuring nothing goes out or disturbs the restaurant. #bintantrip #seascapes #couplestrip

Absolutely love the dining environment, cozy and bright and feels super lively! Had my go to brunch choice the avo toast, it was decent! The venue is stunning and always greated with a smile. Okay something's that i didn't think we're that great - Water is not offered free (even when you pay 140k for a glass of wine) and the portions are quite small. They charge for extra bread, but the offered bread with the dish is not enough. Anyways, my friend had the salmon croissant , also quite delicious! Perfect place for brunch / lunch / dinner or just some simple quick bites. #bintantrip#localfood #staycation

Have been a few times now. Their smoothie bowl is delicious and the best we had during our time in Bintan. Make sure to ask for it cold cold otherwise it could come room temp. I once ordered the ABCG juice and i couldn't even drink it, the ginger taste was so extreme. Other than that things tasted good. The biggest recommendation would be for them to have way more 2 person tables and join them for bigger groups. Not enough seating for 1-2 people. Often have to share tables. And napkins on the table would be a big plus. And lastly spoons for the sugar on the table. These are small things. Overall the place is worthy of a visit. #bintantrip

The atmosphere, service, taste of food is a complete pleasure. Beautiful interior, attention to detail even if things are done at a small scale. They do quite well with a beautiful presentation of food and have a very interesting menu. Their recommendations were quite good too. I mean we were not familiar with all of the dishes but they helped us. You can try so many things here, a bit of a mish mash but they end up tasting well. You can try Indian flatbread and salmon gravlax and cheesecakes. It's a great lace for a change from local tastes. #bintantrip #thingstodo

While the evenings were super fun over here. We liked the place so much that we visited them in the morning too. The coffee is so tasty and their breakfast is good, super large portions. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the chilli scramble, but the sourdough with it was delicious. The owner was the nicest person we met during the Bintan trip. Gave us so many pointers and was kind enough to offer discounts on every meal. I also got a smoothie bowl (dragonfruit) which was really good. The pancakes were also good. #bintantrip#staycation

This was one of the best brunches we had in Bintan. Such good food and the staff are so lovely and accommodating. The food is super fresh and they do specials on the menu. Great vegetarian options also. Their Shaksuka is amazing, I love how they elevated it with potatoes. We also tried benedict eggs, so so good! And for dessert cottage cheese pancakes with a vanilla cream on the side. Another thing, the interior showcases the team's effort in crafting a unique atmosphere. #bintantrip#beautiful

💞Reasons to Recommend: the foods are delicious expecially fried shark meat, the view is superb and massage is cheap, good place to relax for short trip

We took a boat to Bintan from The Zone Pier in Malaysia. We were supposed to take a Grab after getting off the boat. However, Grab cannot enter the pier. We had to walk a distance to get out. However, the taxis inside were very expensive. So we walked out. Halfway there, a driver was willing to take us at the price of Grab. If I remember correctly, it was no more than 15 Malaysian ringgit. It was not far from the pier and we arrived very quickly. The environment here was beautiful, the food was delicious, and there was also a sea view to see.

💞Reasons to Recommend: Affordable yet extremely delicious food. Service is also top notch! View is stunning! Highly recommended!

For a classic Bangkok travel experience, look no further than the city's vintage songthaews. These brightly colored mini buses have been plying the streets for decades. Boarding is an adventure in itself. Simply flag one down in the middle of bustling thoroughfares as they squeeze between lanes of traffic. Hop on and find a seat amongst the lively mix of locals and tourists. Physical tickets are purchased from onboard collectors who expertly weave up and down the narrow aisles. Your destination is handed off in exchange for a few baht coins. No apps or cards needed - just cash and a sense of fun. With transportation taken care of, sit back and immerse yourself in the passing city scenes. Gleaming new skyscrapers and shophouses flanked by towering greenery flash by outside smoked windows. Chat with fellow passengers, absorbing the rich local vibes. No trip to Bangkok is complete without experiencing its uniquely spirited side-to-side commute. Songthaews may be old-school but they offer a more authentically Bangkokian ride. So don your warped hat and join this minibus mayhem. It’s transportation infused with pure character - a joyride through old and new that showcases why Bangkok remains eternally fascinating.
