Across the border is the Thai town of Ban Buketa in Amphoe Waeng,
Narathiwat Province.
Bukit Bunga is 30 km from Tanah Merah along East-West Highway. It's made
up of several smaller kampungs, among them are Bukit Nangka, Cedok, Tokpe,
Kampung Bukit, Renab and Jenub where the hub is revolved around the Bukit Bunga mosque.
Bukit Bunga has in the past few decades become one of the main entry
points to Thailand from
Malaysia. It had its own police station in 1981, and it also has a school,
a customs department and an immigration department.
Lately, it has become a hub
for local tourists in search of
Thai goods.
