Tanjung Piai, JohorTanjung Piai, Johor (15 September 2016)


Tanjung Piai (GPS: 1.26587, 103.51196) is a promontory which is the southernmost part of the Asian continent. It is located in the Pontian District, some 80 km from Johor Bahru. The area is mostly wetlands. There are five rivers that flow through it. To preserve the environment, the mangrove swamps around Tanjung Piai was gazetted as the Tanjung Piai National Park.

If you are from the north, exit the North-South Expressway at Exit 247, Simpang Rengam Interchange. Take Route 96 to Benut, and then continue on Route 95 to Kukup and eventually to Tanjung Piai.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
