Pantu is located half-way in between Betong & Kuching, 5km off the Kuching-Sarikei Highway (part of Pan Borneo Highway).
Drive in & explore! Our forefathers were pioneers before!
Railroad still exists in Sarawak! but for logs and coal (there are Chinese engineers and workers here), this area is near Silantek (remember your geography)
A serene town indeed.
With old shophouses not seen in sarikei, sibu, bintulu, miri & kuching anymore. Clean and tidy too.
Check out the old carlsberg advert.
Whereever there are Chinese, definitely they will build schools.
Jang Hing kopitiam is a must-visit place. Ppl normally ignore Sg Tenggang, stopping by Lachau (not lan...) as it is bigger and more happening but the serenity of sg. tenggang provides the much needed peace of mind after driving for hours along the adventurous highway. Sg. Tenggang is also just 1-2km away from Indonesian Kalimantan Border. Google earth it!
Sg. tenggang has one of the world's best kept secret, their braised duck kolo mee is one craves for. Caveat: belum cuba belum tau, sudah cuba, kali-kali mau.
The towns or rest stops along the Pan Borneo Highway are always known as Cowboy towns.
Well, it's true, they live a tough life there, far away from proper healthcare, cut off from entertainment & many more serving the rural people of Sarawak.
