Siewss 1st Gear July 19, 2009 Share July 19, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palin 1st Gear July 19, 2009 Share July 19, 2009 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyojin 1st Gear July 19, 2009 Share July 19, 2009 3.5?really? i doubt it is possible........ 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.

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"??

Also, what's an "onsen"?? \ 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.

Dwoon 1st Gear July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 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). ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
