Saturday 3pm
The Natural Batik Village claimed to be the largest batik factory in east coast. It is opened for visitors. Just walked in, if it's less than 20 people and make an appointment if you have more than that.
Direction : From cherating heading to Kuantan (trunk road), turn left when you see Balok. Go straight reach T-junction. Take the right turn, following Pantai Balok. Go straight till you see Natural Batik Village on your left.

I saw the work of the girls/workers/artists coloring the artwork and I thought they are very talented. I just hope they are being compensated well.
