Grab all the way
Furthest was at 30RM, cheapest were 4/5RM

Places to go
Batu Ferringhi
Penang Hill
Escape Water/Adventure Theme park. Entrance is for both. I would say, the should have separate entrance fees. We visited water in the morning. Had too much fun that when it was late afternoon, too tired for the adrenaline rush for the adventure park.
Museums
Food
Teochew Ice Chendol, Penang Laksa, Char Kway Teow, Teow Basah, Roti Bakar, Roti Channai
Gurney Drive, Kapitan Restaurant - must try Tandoori Chicken, Jalan Transfer Roti Bakar,

Anyone stay in E&O Penang before ?

Which rooms are more enjoyable ?

The Victoria Anexette new wing or the old Heritage Wing ?

The new wing is cheaper by around SGD20 per day

Usually airport pick up is at departure entrance, arrival exit is full of cab.

Last minute 3d2n Penang trip booked, suaku first time there, would like some advice.

We're taking an overnight bus up which will arrive like 7am in the morning but our check in is only at 3pm.
1. Is there wifi at Sungai Nibong Terminal to book Grab?
2. What's there to eat/do between that time in the morning with some luggage in tow?

What are the must try/must go places to eat/visit?

Thanks in advance!

3d/2N....I'd travel extremely light. Why luggage in tow?

Even if you want a change of clothes, how heavy/bulky can another T shirt and a pair of jeans or bermudas be??? A small knapsack (the ones which you see students carry to school) can pack those in...and there's still room for toiletires, charger...

for grab pickup, the grab driver will tell you to move out abit to the main road to pick you up to avoid those taxi drivers at the entrance. that's what i encountered when in penang few years ago.

Grab very cheap. Short distance about rm $5, long distance (to airport) about rm $23.
