Chukai, also known as Kemaman Town, is the capital of Kemaman District in Terengganu, Malaysia. With a population exceeding 170,000, it stands as the largest town in southern Terengganu. The name "Chukai," meaning 'taxes' in Malay, reflects its historical role in imposing levies on riverine traffic near the Kemaman River estuary during the British colonial period.
Strategically positioned between the state capitals of Kuantan and Kuala Terengganu, Chukai has evolved into a major commercial hub. Its proximity to the oil town of Kerteh adds to its significance. The Kemaman Port serves both as a fishing port and a crucial supply base for offshore oil platforms along the Terengganu coast.
Explore renowned attractions like the Hai Peng Coffee Shop, famous for its exquisite coffees. Nearby, discover the Ma’ Daerah Turtle Sanctuary Centre, enjoy firefly watching along Sungai Kak Yah, visit the fishing village of Kuala Kemaman, and engage in boating and kayaking at the Bakau Tinggi Recreational Area along the Chukai River. Idyllic beaches, unaffected by rapid development, are a short drive away.
Experience luxury at Club Med Cherating Beach, just 15 minutes south of the town, or Resorts World Kijal (formerly Awana), a world-class resort approximately 25 minutes north towards Kuala Terengganu.
