Turtle Laying Eggs...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Turtles come to the East Coast of Malaysia to lay eggs...I happen to catch one laying eggs when I visited in July...

    If you want to see turtles, just inform the hotel of your interest and they can arrange it for you...Usually, hotels have contact with the Turtle Sanctuary, who will call them once they have sighted any turtles coming...
    A fee of RM5 will be imposed when you go watch the turtles lay eggs. If you do not have any vehicle, an avg of RM20per person for transport ( to/fro)-inclusive of the RM5 for watching the turtles...

    The money is put into a fund for turtle conservation....

  • Batik printing anyone???

    Batik is one of Malaysia's unique traditional fabric. This one I'm talking about is hand made n need to go a series of repeated process of designing, waxing, dyeing, drying and boiling the cloth you're working on.

    It's delicate, so need to be really patience. The outcome...you'll be amazed. The process of making one is even amazing. You need to try it...then you'll know.

    There's a few places offering batik printing in Cherating village n along the street there. You can try out your skill and dig up your talents in batik printing.

    Picnic by the beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well, since there were plenty of jelly fishes in the water during my trip so I had to forget swimming. Oh, let's not forget that swimming is not really encouraged along Cherating... the waves are strong n level of sand beneath is unpredictable. Look out for warning signs "no swimming"...n be extra careful when you choose to swim.

    Bought some food from the local restaurants...bought a lot of "keropok lekor" (a family of chips made from fish)...your visit to the East Coast is incomplete if you don't try this!!!

    Breakfast in Hai Peng Chukai
    I risk too much repeating of a tip that might have been given by hundreds of other visitors to cherating but i love sipping black kampung coffee by the roadside cafe Hai Peng, under branches of shadowy raintree.. while chickens run around my feet.. chukai fast becoming busy township.. more cars and new road system and parking system, and fast losing its kedai papan town charm.. go there before its too late or the kaya bun get too small

  • Address: Hai Peng
  • Directions: four junction, the busiest in chukai town -- main road to Dungun
