Phew..Penang super jam since Y'day..roads leading to Bt Ferinnghi & Gurney Drive jam like hell probably every Evening...pening....

Really?
I heard tat there is some hawkers selling food right?do there will have enough parking area?

I know. Haha. Just came back from Penang.

Yesterday night jam so long to get to gurney. School holiday edi.

No parki8ng at all..The whole road surrounding Gurney drive like a big car park dy..cars like not moving wan

if u driving then u can go bt ferringhi at nite. if u do not wan to go too far then can go Strait Quay
can dine there as well..
if still lazy then just lepak at gurney


penang always like this when School holiday or public holiday. start since friday nite..

Will be here till Tues..haha..Today whole day in Betong, Thailand..Took me ~ 1.5 hrs from penang to the border,,,Thereafter just few min to Betong haha..

Very good daytrip to Betong from Penang..but coming back..saw a sad fatal accident somewhere after Pengkalan Hulu & closer to Kulim ...

hmm....
the nite u mean is...6.30pm will start jam?

traffic will be better once weekday start
but try avoid peak time la. else u will still stuck in there with the rest

No choice..Just now direct from Thailand mah and decided wann try Tg Tokong Food court ocien..so straight away enter bt Feringghi and the jam even started b4 entering the tunnel... ..On the way back from Tg Tokong past by Gurney..that's where I saw the big parking lot surrounding Gurney..

I have a question here...
If I go to Fort Cornwallis on 5June about 4pm...will there have enough parking lot?

Fort Convalis parking should not be a problem. ample parking there. But pls check the closing time..normally most museum close at ~ 5pm

I tot the parking lot will not close==....
But anyway parking at Fort Convalis and ride a bus to gurney...could it be done?

parking lot will not be close but entrance to the fort will be close unless u plan to stroll around the fort.
u can drive to gurney. will be alot of car but taking bus only save u the hassle from the jam but not save u time..

Hey, I'm heading to penang next week. Would anyone help me plan a 3 day 2 night trip?

I'm thinking of adding monkey beach or jerejak island in. Any advice on this?

Also, is there a chocolate fair in penang? Worth dropping by?



Thanks!

Yeah, Traffic surrounding Gurney drive & overall in penang much better during working days..Saturday & Sunday was crazy

You have quite a number of options with 3 days on your side. Suggest you explore Georgetown (now a World Heritage Site), Penang Butterfly Farm, Batu Ferringgi beach. Penang Snake Temple is not quite as intriguing as in the past but still a good stopover. Development in surrounding areas must have disturbed the snakes' habitat, reducing the numbers significantly.

Here is a useful resource I've used during my last visit to Penang - http://bit.ly/ewFoVA .

Have a good holiday
