Lum Fong Hotel (GPS: 5.42078, 100.33383) is a budget hotel housed in an early 20th century heritage building in Muntri Street. What makes this hotel significant is that it was the original premises of the Penang Adventist Hospital. The hospital began as a clinic founded by an American doctor named Earl Gardner. Dr Gardner opened his clinic at 108 Muntri Street on 12 December, 1924. It provided free treatment to the poor and needy. Within 19 days of the opening, the clinic was swarmed with patients, registering over 600. The number grew to 1600 in January, and 2000 the following month.
The clinic has since moved on to other premises, before settling at its present site along Jalan Burma. The premises at 108 Muntri Street today houses a bistro, a coffee shop and a budget bed-and-breakfast.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
