Course
The Golok River originates in the
gold mine since pre-Second World War period. Although today it is not as busy as before, but the gold panning career still continues for Sukhirin residents. The villagers use their gold dredging skills as an addition source of income such as promoting local tourism.[2]
The river empties into the Narathiwat Province and Pengkalan Kubor, Kelantan
.
Flood risks
The Golok floods seasonally with the monsoon.[1] An unusually large flood occurred on 21 December 2009, causing an evacuation of parts of Kelantan.[3]
