What to do around Tioman? (Malaysia)
Hello,
For the first question, I don’t have the answer—I don’t know Kuantan. As for bus trips, it’s super easy in Malaysia. You can get from point A to point B without any hassle, especially since your stops are pretty standard. The country has a well-developed network, and everything can be organized on the spot without any issues. Either you go directly to the bus stations to buy tickets for your next destination, or you book online—there are several apps for that. I can’t remember their names anymore; my trip to Malaysia was a while ago. But I do remember it was really straightforward and stress-free. However, with 5 people and during peak season, it might be wise to book your tickets a few days in advance for the next leg of your trip.
Thanks for this valuable advice! I’ve heard a lot about sandflies on Tioman. Is that specific to this island? Is there a time of year when it’s worse, or is it like that all the time? Any recommendations for protection?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
We’re also planning a trip to Tioman this summer with my wife, our 10-year-old son, and a friend who’ll be joining with her 10-year-old daughter. We don’t plan to go to Kuantan, but it seems like it might be a destination worth checking out not too far from Mersing? Not sure if it’s worth the detour. Also, we’re thinking of heading to Malacca from KL and then making our way to Mersing from Malacca. Does anyone know if that’s an easy trip to do by bus for a group of 5 with 2 kids?
