You’ll want to check out nearby Kuantan. What’s 40 miles when you have a set of wheels? The drive there is half the fun! Teluk Cempedak Beach, Darul Makmur Stadium and Heroes Museum alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you toward Lanchang, 45 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary. (But we’re also big fans of Kuala Gandah Elephant Conservation Centre and Deerland Park.)
