Kampung Belanga Pecah, Langkawi

Kampung Belanga Pecah, Langkawi (6 June 2005)


Kampung Belanga Pecah (GPS: 6.38832, 99.86221) is a village in Langkawi. It is located on the eastern part of the island, along Jalan Ayer Hangat, near Galeria Perdana and Barn Thai Restaurant.

The name Belanga Pecah means "broken pot". It is related to the tale of the big fight that broke out in the wedding feast for the daughter of Gunung Machincang and the son of Gunung Raya. In the ensuring row, pots broke, gravy was spilled and hot water splashed, creating places around the island that we know of today.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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