ESCAPE THEME PARK,
DARE YOU?
About 25 minutes from George Town’s
center is Escape Theme Park, one of the
most special parks in Malaysia. We were
excited to explore the park. Mr. Sim Choo
Kheng, the park’s designer, immediately
greeted us and guided our adventurous
game experience there. After traditional
childhood games like walking on trapeze
wires, using stilts, practicing acrobatics,
and climbing trees seemed to disappear,
he decided to open a park where we could
escape from our laptops, phones, and
work to soak in nature.
However, at Escape Theme Park, every
game is developed to cultivate a new
level of adventure. Before taking part in
a game, you will be given an instruction
clip, and there is always staff to check
the safety equipment for you. If your
kids want to swing from place to place
like Tarzan, then bring them to Monkey
Business to try a challenging selection
of games at all levels. You will have a
chance to hover (of course with safety
belts), walk on a suspension bridge, or
crawl through wheels hanging at high
positions. However simple it sounds, you
must finish the whole round of games
and can’t go back (except for cases of
force majeure). This game will help
you strengthen your character, so you
shouldn’t give up.

ITINERARY:
ü The easiest way is to fly
from HCMC to Penang with
AirAsia. AirAsia is the sole
airline operating a direct
route between HCMC and
Penang. There are 4 roundtrip flights per week, on
Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
and Sunday. The flight time is
about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
AirAsia offers numerous
programs to promote this
new route in the last months
of the year.
EVENTS:
ü Go Penang this summer
and take part in the Durian
Festival from June to July.
Penang is home to the most
delicious durians in Southeast
Asia.
There is also an area designed with
containers for you to relax or go camping
in the forest. This is a familiar place
where students often go to practice and
have fun in nature.
One of the most fascinating rides at
Escape Theme Park is free fall from15m
or 20m. Unlike Bungee which lets you
fall without stopping, this ride only drops
for a few seconds before the rope lowers
you to safety. Stand on top of the tower,
take in the beauty of nature, and get ready
to jump. Feel free to scream during this
ride! You may be scared to look down,
but embrace the adrenaline as you fall
and be proud of yourself after finishing.
All this excitement will make your trip
unforgetable.
