In short
- Rantau Panjang is the border town inside Pasir Mas. Give us the exact venue, because the two can be a real drive apart.
- Write the day as blocks: where, who, when the family leaves, who guides the crew.
- Relatives from Thailand should use an authorised checkpoint and leave early, especially around Hari Raya.
- Flood warnings in December 2025 listed Pasir Mas, so ask about the road to your venue in the year-end rains.
Pasir Mas is the Kelantan district beside the Thai border, and its border town, Rantau Panjang, sits on the Sungai Golok. A family event here is rarely held in one room, so the most useful thing you can give us is the route of the day.
What is Rantau Panjang, and why does it matter?
Rantau Panjang is the border town inside Pasir Mas district. An enquiry for Rantau Panjang and one for Pasir Mas town are handled the same way, but we ask for the exact venue because the two can be a real drive apart.
Neighbouring districts are Tumpat and Tanah Merah.
What changes when relatives cross from Thailand?
Relatives from Thailand should use an authorised checkpoint. Kelantan police reminders in March 2026 named Rantau Panjang, Pengkalan Kubor and Bukit Bunga, and warned against unofficial crossings on Sungai Golok. Crossings can be busy around Hari Raya, so ask guests to leave early.
Tell us when guests are expected to arrive, since that decides whether they reach the start of the programme. Tell us which languages the speeches will use, such as Kelantanese Malay, Thai or English. Our caption and language planner helps you write this down.
How do you plan a day that moves between places?
A typical family day can involve a house, a mosque or surau, a hall and a second family home. Each stop needs its own plan for sound, light and crew position. Write the day as a short list of blocks:
- Where each part happens and who is there.
- When the family expects to leave, not only when it starts.
- Who will guide the crew at each place.
- Which part must be filmed in full, and which can be a shorter summary.
Our guide to planning coverage across several venues goes through this for weddings. For events spread over a wider area, see filming across a city and its surrounding districts.
What should you confirm before booking?
- The address of every venue, with a map pin if the road has no clear name.
- Whether the road to any venue floods in the year-end rains. Our weather planning guide lists what to ask.
- Which moments are private, and which films may be shared online. See permissions and responsible publication.
- Who decides if the schedule changes on the day.
If your event is a Malay wedding, our Malay wedding videography page explains the ceremonies we plan around.
How does an enquiry for Pasir Mas work?
Send the date, the places involved and the films you want, and we confirm the crew and travel. The event video brief builder can help you write these details down first, and the general approach is on our event videography service page. For the wider picture, see event videography in Kelantan.
Send us the date, the places involved and the films you want, and we will plan the route of the day with you.
