After surviving for more than 37 years in Kuantan, finally I decided to
create a blog about Kuantan sharing some of my random memoirs, exciting and
interesting stuff that you can do while you are in Kuantan, where and how you
can explore delicious food to eat and enjoy at a very reasonable and economical
rate that you can never expect to find some where else, and the last but not
the least where and how to find an economical but good spot to stay while you
are in Kuantan.
Whether you are looking for an exotic get away or a refreshing
vacation, the tropical city of Kuantan in Malaysia is the
place for you. Well, just to share some bits
and pieces especially for those who are not local, Kuantan is the state
capital of Pahang, strategically
located near the mouth of the Kuantan River facing the South China Sea, and is the largest city on the
East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Although Kuantan has grown into a bustling modern
town in line with the rapid development of Malaysia , it still retains its
delightful cultures, traditions and values, making it a modern yet traditional
town.
To-date, Kuantan
is the leading urban growth centre and gateway
to the delightful East Coast States of West in Malaysia . You can travel north along the coastal road to the
states of Terengganu and Kelantan. And further up north towards the borders of Thailand .
The town suburban
has expanded rapidly 72km up to the Kemaman town, right after the
Pahang/Terengganu border. The city itself has a population of approximately 600,000++. The population in Kuantan comprises of 57% Malay, 32% Chinese, 4% Indian and as for 7% other races.
In general, Kuantan is neither
big nor glamorous but has been identified as one of the future growth centers and a hub
for trade, commerce, transportation and tourism due to its strategic location.
Well, I guess it’s time for me to wrap up my “Welcome” message and I really
appreciate your support and taking some of your precious time to check out my
blog and I hope you will enjoy it and find something inspirational. So, stick

many posts and articles as well as interesting photos around Kuantan you may
