Dhoby Ghaut is located within the city of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. It also known as Vannan Thora Tedal ('laundry district') among the local Indian community.[1][2]
Dhobby Ghaut is located between Jalan Air Hitam and York Road. It lies at the confluence of Sungai Air Itam and Sungai Air Terjun, from where Sungai Pinang emerges. A few laundries still operate there. Many people who live there work in the traditional Indian laundry service providers who have been operating there generations after generations.
