Forest Field Apartment

Forest Field Apartment, Penang (22 August 2018)


Forest Field (GPS: 5.43573, 100.29476) is an 8-storey apartment at Lorong Air Terjun, Penang. It comprises 52 units on freehold land with built-up area ranging from 1,040 sqft to 1,400 sqft.

This place is a good place to stay if you love to be near the forest. It is a verdant part of George Town, which is an amazing thing considering the city centre is so near. However, there are two drawbacks of staying here. The first is, there are occasional disturbances by monkeys which come out of the forest in search of food. Though monkey attacks are not common, they can be a nuisance.

The second drawback, which happens only once a year, is the annual Thaipusam procession, which makes entering and leaving your apartment impossible. Add to that are the flower fests that takes place at the Penang Botanic Gardens, which also causes roadblocks.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
