Kampung Agong (GPS: 5.54023, 100.37974) is a countryside theme park in the village of Bakar Kapur, in Penaga, Seberang Perai. Visitors there can also stay overnight at Homestay Kampung Agong, but most people go there for phototaking sessions.
Kampung Agong is a coconut grove beside the paddy fields. The area has been spruced up with various decorative props such as giant hanging birdnests, swings, paddy field sheds and kampung houses, and even a decoy white grand piano. There are bicycles for rent. Also available for rent are traditional costumes.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
