Hello people. I will be heading to Penang next weekend.

The two places that are high on my priority list are kek lok si and penang hill.

Any other suggestions on where to go? My friend told me straits quay seems like a new place to take a look. Will head out to batu ferringhi and hard rock hotel as well I think. Can cross out gurney drive and queensbay as I've already been there.


Added on June 17, 2011, 1:00 amBtw main priority will be sight seeing. Want take more photos. laugh.gif

Adults and none halal.

wanna ask, how is the public transport in Penang?..is it reliable to rely on the bus (Rapid) to visit the tourist place?..or isit better to rent a car?

*FYI, in Sabah here, its better to rent a private car to move around, otherwise it will b quite hard..near impossible to move around*

pls share with me.. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

if you got a car it's much more reliable of course... can plan your time better smile.gif
