Cherating: More than just beaches in coastal town

The Natural Batik Village in Balok is a place for visitors to get an indepth appreciation of local batik.

THERE are many interesting places to take a break and unwind when planning a short weekend getaway locally, and one place that often gets overlooked is Cherating, Pahang.

With better road connectivity, many do not realise that it takes just a little over three hours to get to Cherating via the East Coast Expressway from Gombak.
