Day 141
This is a top pick! ... a bath after the jungle trekking - I don't think I've had one on my travels at all so I took my time over it. Kuantan is Pahang's state capital but I don't think I'll be staying here long. I got an email from the boat company today saying that ...
Day 143
This is a top pick! On Sunday I took a taxi to a beach near to Kuantan. It is called Teluk Chempedak and is a favourite retreat for the locals. A beach in a Muslim country is a little different than most around the world. There are no bikinis, even the men keep there shirts ...
Day 142
This is a top pick! Saturday in this provincial capital of Pahang. I had my complimentary breakfast in the slightly plush hotel and thought about switching to a cheaper place. I wandered around the streets trying to find a place to get my yellow fever and cholera jabs done. ...
Concentration Camp
This is a top pick! ... the 14th, not the 13th since technically arrival day doesn’t count as a day of the course. Good thing I had booked a flight out of Malaysia at 12:00AM on the 17th not the 16th which was what the agent had me on at first. This gave me a little ...
The arrival of Kadih!
This is a top pick! ... where you start to nod off, then your head drops down and you jolt awake, even though i was in a stranger living room, in Malaysia! I know, but i couldn't help it :( Anyway, i survived the fast, gorged myself on the evening meal as all do, then we ...
Last days in Malaysia
This is a top pick! ... back now, i wished i would have taken the 4 day batik making courses offered in Indonesia. The most famous batik area in Malaysia is Kuala Terengganu, north of Pahang State. I also went o visit small and laid back Cherating. It was great hanging out ...
Rain, Rain, Rain!
This is a top pick! Once our feet were on dry land again, we jumped on a couple of buses in the direction of Kuantan basically following the East coast! We managed to get on our most executive form of transport yet...a bus with only 3 seats across (2+1) - talk about leg ...
The Day We Waited All Day!
... 9.30pm this evening. It was decided that it wasn’t worth the travel to Cherating and so we have booked into a hotel in Kuantan for the night, tomorrow we will take the local bus as originally planned to Cherating. Of the many activies you can do in ...
Pleasant stopover
... that it wasn't worth the effort so we booked a coach back to Kuala Lumpur. We were glad that we'd seen some of east Malaysia to get a better view of the country but we didn't visit anywhere spectacular so we think we'll probably stick to the ...
Batu Caves and Kampung Kuantan
Hey !! Ok, lets first get one thing straight : here I am NEVER at home ! unless I'm ill. I have not even managed to get too addicted to Harry Potter yet because I do so many thing and that as soon as I get into bed I am ...
Grotty Town!
We unfortunately missed the last bus of the evening to Cherating and had to spend a night in the grotty little town of Kuantan, the whole place looked like a council estate - it was horrible! There was absolutely nothing going on here, we couldn't even ...
Eerie Goings On Out Here
After the jungle, we decided it was time to get off the beaten track a bit and visit some smaller places in Malaysia. To this end we went to Pekan, a small coastal town known for not much really other than some nice colonial buildings and a chilled ...
Distracted on the way to the jungle...
A bus down the east coast of Malaysia brought us to Kuantan where we'd missed our connection to the jungle. So, a night here has brought us a marvel at Masjid Negeri (an impressive Mosque), tastey Malaysian 'Masala Dosai' (like a spicey vegetable pancake) ...
A Visit To A 4,000 Year Old Sivalingga
Along the return journey, we headed to this little known town called Panching, which is located 26 Kilometers from Kuantan, the capitol of Kuantan State. Here we drove through some Oil Palm Estates and finally reached this cave called Charas Caves. This ...
Sir Rajan Jones
... do on our way back round to KL and had settled on a little place on the edge of Lake Chini, a small lake on the East Coast of Malaysia. So to get there we had to get a taxi back to Terengganu and then a bus to Kuantan and then a bus to Chini village and a ...
Decouverte de la cote Est
Nous avons loué une voiture à Kuantan. C'est une ville de moyenne importance sans charme particulier. Comme dans de nombreuses villes Malaisiennes, les programmes de reconstructions font table rase du passé pour faire naitre à la place de grands blocs ...
Introduction to Dhamma
... . Perfectly normal. So then I started trying to fit a course into my itinerary. Since my itinerary included Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, I looked at all those locations for courses. And what do you know?! It just so happened that there was a course ...
Kaught up in Kuantan

Verso il sud della Penisola
... ( circa 70km) ma in alternativa un taxi costa circa 60-80 RM e vi portera' fino alla fermata degli autobus di Kuantan. Il biglietto per Cherantin costa 14RM. La descrizione delle travel guide sono state troppo buone con Cherating. E' un bel posto ...
Avoid Kuantan, if possible!
... faith in them, and i hope they re wrong again) that all the budget and a lot of the mid range accommodation here in Kuantan is dreadful. We found the only budget place they would even have their name associated wit, which was just next to the bus station ...
Pretty Pekan and the Palaces We Didn't See
... sachets, I was feeling considerably better. We never did see those palaces and we never will now I guess along with all the other tourists who skip Pekan on their east coast Malaysia travels, next stop Cherating. Best Wishes, Heather and ...
A Stop Over in Pekan
Sub-title: Sarah lost the Lonely Planet and Martyn nearly sh** himself! We went to Pekan as a stopover on the way to Tioman. There's not much to see in Pekan and the most interesting and nicest thing was our accomdation, the Chief's Rest House. However ...
Kuantun
2nd Feb – Kemaman. Feeling really tired. Wished I had no tour booked but I was going with Carol & Jeff to Kuantan. Met them at the coach for 9.30 am. We went to a little market place which was very nice but not enough time. ...
Cerating
... to Kuantan. A missed-turn brought us to a nice blue sea, the Telok Cempedak, which is one of the beaches along the Kuantan, Peninsular Malaysia. We were taken photo under the hot sun and strong wind. <Relax with calm smiling> As usual came to ...
