VIEWING THE CITY FROM KUANTAN 188

   27th JUNE 2024    ~ The most prominent landmark of Kuantan would be its tower: Kuantan 188. That was what I did on my first day there - viewing the city from the top of the tower.

It was called Kuantan 188 because the height of tower is 188 metres.

I paid RM33 for the combo ticket to get to the Observation Deck where you watch Kuantan through glass panels and the Sky Deck which was an open area. I just got to know you could get 15% discount if you buy the tickets online, which is about RM5 cheaper.

There was actually an activity that you could do on the Sky Deck - walking around the tour outside the steel barrier while being hooked on a cable.

I was the only tourist on the tower that evening so I had the whole place to myself.

If you have visited other towers in other cities, the experience was just the same. Just be there to enjoy the view and take as many photos as possible.

Kuantan 188 - been there, done that.

VISITING DUSUN TOK DIN, HOMESTAY IN THE ORCHARD - CONTAINER HOUSE

The next type of accommodation available in Dusun Tok Din is the Container House. You could see the prominent features of the containers when you view the building from the left or right side.

It is also suitable for a small family. Still, the place is cosy and comfortable to live in.

The Container House actually accommodated two units of bedroom and the tenants have to share the living area and family area.

I think the upper part of the house is where the family area is located, where you could carry out family activities like Karaoke session. We did not view that specific space that day.

What does the Bus House provide?

• 1 Queen Bed
• 1 Bathroom
• Living Area

STROLLING BY PAHANG RIVER ONE THURSDAY AFTERNOON

27TH JUNE 2024 ~ The last time I was in Kuantan, Pahang, was in 1997. At that time, my sister and her family were staying in Taman Tas, somewhere in Gambang area. I got the chance to visit Kuantan again when a friend invited me to her son's wedding reception [READ HERE].

The very first thing I did after checking in at the hotel was to find my way to Kuantan River Esplanade which was near. I simply walked towards the tower Kuantan 188. There was a long walkway along Pahang River and what I simply did was to walk from one end to the other and back.

It was a Thursday afternoon and there were very few people. Perhaps it was a working day for Pahang and people would only come here on weekends and public holidays.

Other than enjoying the view, I went up Kuantan 188 Tower too, but that will be another story in another post later. I missed taking the boat cruise as it was already late when I arrived at the jetty so that should be one reason to come back to Kuantan one day.

My first impression of Kuantan was to discover that it was not as busy as Johor Bahru and everything was calmer. There will be more photos and stories as explored Kuantan for three days. Make sure you come back for more.
