Natural Batik Village

nice activity to try when visiting Kuantan!! variety of batik designs to choose from, including some kiddy characters too (which we did not pick because we’re 3 adults), we chose the small simple one and it was RM15 each. the downside is that the staff there don’t teach you how to it so you kinda gotta figure it out yourself if you do not opt to remove the wax then you can do and collect on the day itself 👍🏻

Natural Batik Village is a must-visit, especially if you have kids. For just RM15, the batik painting activity is totally worth it. My 6-year-old was able to spend hours painting, learning to be creative and mix colors. The staff are friendly and helpful, and parking is super easy. It's a great, hands-on activity that both you and your children will enjoy. Besides the painting, they also have a good variety of souvenirs like keychains and fridge magnets. You can also find some beautiful batik clothing, from elegant baju kebaya to comfy baju kelawar. Just a heads-up, the prices for these are a little on the expensive side. Oh, and they also sell coffee, which is a nice bonus!

If you're looking for an indoor leisurely activity to bide your time in Kuantan then this is an idea! Choose from a variety of batik art painting options or tie-dyeing - let your creativity go wild! Once done, you can pop in to the store to pick up more ready made batik wear. Friendly service. Do take note though that your art would need time to be processed so depending on what you had chosen, you might need to have them delivered to you later. Alternatively do this on the way to your island destination and then pick up your art piece on the way back.

**Batik Painting Experience – Disappointing and Frustrating** Initially, the batik painting session was just average. The materials provided were minimal—very limited colors and brushes—which made it hard to enjoy the creative process. I found it frustrating not to have full access to basic essentials like water and a proper range of colors. The staff member in charge didn’t seem particularly interested in explaining the process or sharing any background about batik painting, which made the experience feel impersonal and uninspired. The place was also overcrowded on the day I visited, which added to the sense that the experience was overrated and not well-managed. To make matters worse, I wasn’t allowed to collect my artwork on the same day and was told it would be mailed to me in Singapore for an additional RM25. I agreed, but later they claimed they couldn’t deliver it and refused to refund me. This felt like a complete scam. **Final verdict: Avoid this place at all costs. Poor service, lackluster experience, and dishonest practices. You’ve been warned.**

Did the batik coloring activity as a group of four. Spent three hours there - very therapeutic and very affordable. Good fun experience, highly recommended to experience kampung lifestyle ✨
