We arrived in Georgetown after a month in Thailand and only originally planned to stay for 8 nights, we decided to stay 14 nights before moving onto KL as we loved it so much. So many things to do and with the temperature being so hot (heat wave at the mo) it was nice to see things slowly and avoid... More

My wife and I stayed for four nights in Penang at Tanjung Bungah. We live on Australia's Gold Coast and I was expecting similar beaches but were sadly disappointed...it fact of our two week Malaysian holiday, Georgetown and Penang were a let down and while we will be returning to Malaysia, we definitely won't be returning to Penang.

George Town is the center of Penang and a great clean place to visit if you want to try some great food. From hawker stands to five star restaurants, the quality of food is great here. Unlike its northern neighbor Phuket, this is not a vacation resort or a party place. There are more fun places in Thailand for that.... More

We started our journey to visit the street art at 5pm. we started off at jalan hutton and was walking to some others nearby.... More

After an early breakfast we planned to just take some pictures of the old building. However, an old trishaw driver offered a sightseeing of the city on his trishaw. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The old chinese houses of the old city were wonderful to see and took pictures of. The fact the houses are... More
