Any info on this place?? and when best to go. Novemeber into Decemeber suits me best.

As ever, the rather fine Rough Guide to Malaysia should be your first point of reference - there's quite a detailed account of Kuala Terengganu in it. Your main problem of course is that Nov/Dec is precisely *not* the monsoon to pick for a the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, since this is when winds off the South China Sea bring rain to this part of the country. If you can, try to go between March and mid-October. This issue apart, I do recommend the east coast. Kelantan and Terengganu states are traditional, rural Malay areas that don't offer the razzmatazz of urban go-ahead towns like KL or Melaka, but to my mind this is their appeal. Bear in mind that both states take a low-key approach to alcohol, being governed by the religious party PAS, but this is no different to travelling in many other Muslim countries. You can use Kuala Terengganu as the jumping-off point to Pulau Redang with its marine parks, plus much further down the east coast you've Pulau Tioman to enjoy.

Do you think Kuala Terrangganu or Goa?

This is an apples versus oranges question, in fact it's a little more eccentric than that. My impression of Goa, which I've not visited, is that it's a resort place that's much in favour with hippies or wannabe hippies; in contrast Kuala Terengganu is simply the state capital of Terengganu. So it's like comparing, I dunno, Miami with Ipswich. I assumed you knew that the east coast of Malaysia itself is worth visiting, though Kuala Terengganu is merely one of several not particularly touristy towns along it. Personally, I'd pick Malaysia over Goa anytime, not just for the east coast but any number of resorts, nature reserves and towns, but obviously you should read the respective Rough Guides (or guidebook of your choice), decide what you're interested in and make your choice accordingly. Actually, you might even want to consider East Malaysia (ie on Borneo) - Sabah and Sarawak states are relatively untouristed and have much charm, even more rainforest than Peninsular Malaysia as well as marvellous upriver tribal peoples to befriend.
