Admission is free. there's a small fee for guided tours. I think it is worth a visit. Good to know that traditional business is still alive and well

Must visit place, free entry
High quality wood to charcoal.
You can learn what the proceed and buy some mangrove wood charcoal back for bbq use.

If you are chinese or people believe FengShui, buy a 黑金 as your house decorations.

First known about this place from Amir Muhammad's documentary " The Last Communist " . Then the articulate owner Mr Michael Chuah narrated the process on the making of charcoal & the by products in conjunction with the process. Alas Mr Michael Chuah has since retired and we have to make do with his replacement a Mr Tan as our guide. No prior appointments are necessary; entrance is free and if one is desirous one can ask at the front desk for a guided tour and pay RM 3 per person . Various shades of Charcoal, Charcoal Oil & Odour Absorbers are available for purchase at the souvenir stall

Best experiences ever. A place to learn where the charcoal comes from, what can it be used and so on. Also providing a free tour inside of the factory. There are more than 3 factories in a place but only one factoey provide free tour. It is good for learning process and etc.

Loved the visit and tour. Didn't know that charcoal can be such an interesting topic

Interesting place to visit and learn about the charcoal making process. The owner is very friendly to give the introduction. They do sell the charcoal product here as well at a reasonable price.

Nice place to visit. You can walk around for free or ask for short tour which you need to pay per pax. The tour guide will explained in detail the process to produce charcoal. Bedside that, they do sell products from charcoal like shampoo,soap and oils.

Tickets to be purchase for tour session, they selling souvenirs too, charcoal for our house deco too. Even charcoal vinegar also purely can get there. Really historic place and we can learn some things from there.

Nice place to understand how the charcoal is made from wood, just pay RM3 per pax for guided demonstration. Can be a good place to take some photos as well.

It's great experience to be able to watch how Charcoal is baked & how their by products have been made!

This factory have been in the family for generations. I hope it will continue for generations to come.

This place have actual working charcoal making process. The boat brings in wood and put into kiln to fire until charcoal. I went there and saw one working kiln and also one empty where you can walk in to look inside. Parking space is limit, remember to go early.

Interesting place to visit and understand the charcoal making process, strong fire burn for 14 days, small fire burn for another 10 days and cool down in 8 days.

You can see the charcoal kiln for free here, and there's a small stall at the front selling charcoal and telated souvenirs.

Went there during Wesak day so there's only 2-3 workers working, and a stall selling their products of the wood. I guess they'd have somebody to give info and guide during normal days

You can have a look at their burning funnel with the fragrance can be smelled all around the place, and beside the factory there are lot wood logs waiting to be burnt.

Great place to acquire new knowledge on charcoal making. Complete with tour guide for tourist. Its a once in a life time experience. The pace is not so big to occupied so many people at one time. It open to all not only for group visit. Suitable for everyone especially for school trip. The ambience is full of burning aroma so it might not comfortable for some but it is charcoal Factory so what else do you wish😅..

We went on a Saturday noon, there was no one at the factoey but an ice cream uncle who does business at the entey of the factory was so kind to walk us round and explained the operations. 😘

红树变黑金?
Black Gold from kiln?

Nice place to bring kids or tour to this charcoal factory. They will the process on how to transfer mangrove tree to this factory using boat via small river. Then need to peel skin from tree after that arrange it inside kiln, need 30 days to turn it into charcoal. Process is not easy, it's quite a hard job that's why less local want do this job.

Good experience, get to know how charcoal made. My grandpa own a charcoal factory but I was too young to get know much. It is good to see how charcoal was made.

Briefing the making of charcoal. . Hard work. Grateful 🙏

Educational visit to learn about Charcoal production. Did you know that Malaysia exports our coals worldwide and mainly to Japan?
