Bedong, Kedah (25 July, 2015)
Bedong (GPS: 5.72753, 100.50653) is a small town in Kedah. It is located in Kuala Muda District, to the north of Sungai Petani, and is considered the gateway to Bujang Valley and Gunung Jerai.
I passed through Bedong on my way from Gunung Jerai to the Bujang Valley. I found it to be just a small town comprising a cluster of pre-war shophouses. I took some photos, and stirred the attention of a roadside hawker, who demanded to know what I was up to. I told him I am documenting the town for a travel guide.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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