Penang aka: Pulau Pinang

When I first got to Penang I was disappointed. My budget hotel was in the downtown city section of the island, which is, to be honest, pretty ugly. But Penang is awesome. The island and the city have tons to offer a tourist. Take the railcar up the mountain but be sure to hike down through the jungle to see hundreds of monkey families. The food is killer.

exotic and peacefull

nice place

GO THERE!

penang is really close to indonesia
wen i was on holiday there was an earthquake in northen sumatra from penang i could feel the tremors it was both SCARY and EXCITING it was on tuesday march 29 2005 at 12.15 am in england it would be about 4 pm.
the pools shuk outside the t.v nearly fell off the stand. people went on their balconies one little girl was screaming and crying. oh yeh and the neighbours slept rite through it LOL.
but dont worry if u go there penang is 2 far away from indonesia for there 2 b any real damage
BUT and a very BIG BUT remember the tsunami??? of course u do boxing day 2005 a lot of ppl died tht day and after tht the island penang is behind a very long stretch of land if tht land wasnt there the island wud b under the sea rite now probably.
penang is very hot and gr8 if u want a tan the locals are frendly and kind and the stuff there is cheap water sports at the beach. BUT agen lol watch for jellyfish i got stung in 2005 i survived obviously but becoz it was a baby jellyfish

overall the island is very exotic and a lovely place 2 stay i recommend the golden sands hotel!!! excellent

It’s was christmas last year! (2006) When with my family.

My father is from this state and we used to go back every school holiday, and I would have so much fun that I have come to associate Penang with happiness. Sometimes, when I feel the need to escape, I’d drive up here, rent a room on the beach and just hang around and do nothing for days. Brilliant way to detox!

i went on a mission trip with my RBS mates….i love the wide sea…it is just beautiful to see it gurney drive...there are stalls gurney drive during the night….lovely….i was then 17 year of age when i went there…truely enjoyed myself…
wish to go there again…and this time visit more of places in penang…i was there on a mission trip so i didnt get much to venture…
