I arrived in pangkor and that night itself my period started -.- It was actually late a few days so I couldn't change the trip because got other people.
So went out to the shop and bought tampons.(Playtex regular) Next day going to beach.
Remember to insert properly and take care of the string! My tampon only lasted for a little less than 2 hours because the string started soaking up water up in to the tampon and that made it all full and can not soak up the blood anymore. So I started leaking a bit... so embarassing -.-;;; Lucky my boyfriend whisper to me quick enough and also very blessed that the hotel right on the beach side also super blessed that bikini bottom was dark navy blue!

In short, watch the string don't soak up the sea water^^;;

periods don't leak in water yes but it's not like the swimming pool. When you are at the beach you are in and out of the water all the time. So accidents do happen... Just keep a close eye and it would be fine
