Seberang Perai Utara is one of the three administrative districts of Seberang Perai. It covers 269 square kilometers and have a population of a little less than 300,000 (as of 2010).

The main towns in Seberang Perai Utara are Butterworth, Kepala Batas, Penaga and Tasek Gelugor. There are many villages and small towns in Seberang Perai Utara, among them Bagan Ajam and Teluk Air Tawar.

The present border of Seberang Perai Utara came about around 1826 following the Siamese invasion of Kedah in 1821 and the subsequent Burney Treaty1 between the Siamese and the British over the new boundary, which is then marked with three British-Siamese boundary stones. The treaty put in writing an earlier agreement between the Siamese and the British made in 1822 when British Resident of Singapore John Crawfurd visited Bangkok to determine the border of Siamese territory, which was acknowledged as including the four Malay states of Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Terengganu.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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