Plenty of buses.
You can take to butterworth then take the ferry across. Nearby only. Walking distance.
Or you can take straight to Sg. Nibong bus station.

Can recommend some which can book tickets online....bust atm to go to KL there

Planning for a 3 days trip to penang during Oct to Dec. Preferably weekdays. Any suggestion of hotel for around 5 pax? Average is enough.

Have own car transport or not. Wan beach or not?
Average Low budget backpackers hotel or wat?
Nov to Dec is peak season. Traffic jam!

Try Aeroline..

Car - Yes

Beach - Yes or No

Intermediate budget, not too much not too little I guess. No need exclusive 5 star hotels, but at least not a hooker hotel

Oct to Dec~

Beach - Yes or No??? In that case you can try Tanjung Bungah Beach hotel which is the nearest Beach hotel to Town, since you have car transport already.

You can also try Cititel or Sunway Georgetown, if not beach hotel.

Try Google and see which one is the most suitable location.

Can go to maraliner. Able to online booking over there.

Digi got beach party this saturday!
anyone going?

Really? Where and wat time? Wat is the highlight?

any apartment or cheap hotel(but must clean and not hooke) recommendation for me? 9person, 3days 2 night, hoping for budget trip. we will go there by flight and rent a car at there.

I am planning to drive up to Penang on the 10th Sept, anyone can advise me on the traffic there during Hari Raya. Will there be massive jams? and what will be the best time to reach Penang Bridge to avoid the jam.

I am choosing between Traders Hotel and Evergreen Laurel for my 2 nights stay. Actually the price is quite the same, I am wondering which one will have more food outlets nearby for makan at night.

i was in penang recently for worked, stay at sunway georgetown, makan quite easy , at nite road closed to 1 way got lots of hawker food...traders hotel there near to the 1st avenue new mall not yet open, i didnt really see much food over there, no ideas where is evergreen

Thanks rayfoo. I did tried the sunway hotel but is fully booked on the 10th Sept.
I had stayed in Traders hotel before last year. If I can recall, there is not much food near there at night, but I am afraid Evergreen will be worst.

I guess you have to take Traders then and walk to New Lane Night hawker stalls.
It is easier and lot shorter then walking from Evergreen to end of Gurney Drive at Gurney Plaza end.

Traders and Evergreen Laurel price quite the same? Go for Traders then, definately nearer to lots of makan places.

Seems like Penang is a favourate getwaway for Hari Raya holiday every year...

Are you inviting me to go? Very long time I haven't been to QEII @ Pengkalan Weld.

can i know Taxi service from Sungai nibong to Batu ferringgi around how much ?? sure kena potong right ?? and also i will stay in ferringgi HYDRO hotel .. so any recommended place to take model photo in ferringgi ?? or any place recommend to pak toh with girl friend ?

Honestly speaking i dont even know LOL!
My fren told me n i just tag along.. Leaving in an hours time to Penang..

Oh its atthis place? QEII @ Pengkalan Weld.

As a rough guide, taxi from airport to BF is RM70(coupon system), BF to airport can get RM60. Sg Nibong, 6km to airport, so anything around RM50 would be acceptable. See if you can get it for RM40, since Hydro is at the very start of BF stretch.

Actually, if not in a hurry and want to save money, take Rapid bus no102.
