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.
