Bagan Panchor, Perak

Bagan Panchor (GPS: 4.52521, 100.65343) is a coastal village in Perak. It is located between Kuala Sepetang and Pantai Remis. The predominant occupation here is fishing.

As with many coastal towns in Perak, Bagan Panchor is near the swamps and mangroves, which are the breeding grounds of the fish.

Bagan Panchor appeared in the newspaper in 2006 when it had an outbreak of the Chikunguya virus (CHIKV) affecting some two hundred people of the village.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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