Senai (GPS: 1.60139, 103.64536) is a town 25 km to the northwest of Johor Bahru that is best known as home for the Senai International Airport. It is located to the north of Lima Kedai, to the northwest of Kempas, and to the south of Kulai.
Senai is said to have been named after a local tree called pokok senai. It was a sleepy town until the construction of Senai airport brought about some development to the area. The old town centre is still around. It comprises mostly pre-war shophouses along the Old Trunk Road (Federal Route 1), which is known here as Lebuhraya Senai.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
