All you need to know about Malaysia

Kuantan, the capital city and main administrative center of the state of Pahang Darul Makmur, lies on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, about 170 miles east of Kuala Lumpur - the capital city of Malaysia - and 215 miles north of Singapore.

It is situated on the banks of the Kuantan river mouth, facing the South China Sea.
This town is the gateway to the delightful East Coast states of West Malaysia.
You can travel north along the coastal road to the states of Trengganu and Kelantan. And further up north towards the borders of Thailand.

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.

GETTING THERE BY CAR

From Kuala Lumpur, Kuantan is about 3-4 hours drive by car, accessible either via the new North-South Highway that bypass towns along the way, or the older route passing through relatively quiet towns and villages.
Or if you’re coming from Singapore, you can also take the scenic coastal road from Johor Bahru to Mersing passing through Kuala Rompin and Pekan and then up north to Kuantan.

GETTING THERE BY air

Alternatively, if you prefer to fly, it will be just a short 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur ("K.L.") to the Sultan Ahmad Shah Airport, a modern, albeit small, airport, located about 15 km away from Kuantan town
