Hi all.

 

It's time again to go up north b4 the monsoon starts. [nod]

 

Im planning a trip to Kuantan for a few days. [wave]

 

Maybe stay at Swiss Garden Resort as we were there last time & its a very nice resort. Or we can try some other hotel if u got some good recommendations but please keep the costs down. [grin]

 

I hope to go by end July or early Aug (but not during any holiday season please)

 

I hope Xtruan & Stevegring wil cfm soon & I hear a couple of new kaki want to join.

 

Hope u guys can let me know if u r interested & we can start planning.

Bro. how many hrs drive to Kuantan ?

 

If you leave early at 5.30am, when the traffic is light in JB, you can probably hit Kuantan in about 3.5 hours.

Hi, I'm keen on the road trip but be travelling only between 7 - 11 Aug. Yes, I knw it's the long weekend but that may be the only time I'm able to make the trip. Any sugg? The last time I drove to lake kenyir was an enjoyable experience. Is there any other place like that? Btw, heard that there's an onsen in M'sia, anyone been there?

i agree... esp if you are taking Federal roads, you can be doing NSHW types of speeds for most parts. conservatively (and perhaps more realistically) it'll be about 5 hours. i just did a trip to Tanjong Jara. but the roads midway are fantastic for those who have very well balanced cars. [thumbsup]

Think the guys are only interested in non-PH periods bro. Don't think I can make it myself 'cos it's difficult to take leave during the school semester.

 

Where & What's there to do at Lake Kenyir? Also, what's an "onsen"?? [confused]

my OC is from kuantan and so i frequent there... the best i can do is about 5.5 going there and 5 coming back.... but is by the small roads.... as mentioned in my previous post to Pisces69

on-sen is Japanese for hot spring.

 

Yes, there is Air Panas (hot water) in M'sia. but that's in Slim River in Perak. Prob a better for a roadtrip to Cameron Highlands.

If in Kuantan, can go to the old mining town where there's a small museum there.

 

Also on route to the mining town, there's a cave temple high up in the hill and got to climb 75 deg incline (rock steps with railings).
