Hi guys, heading to penang for a short trip next week. any activities to recommend for bday besides eating? Need to kill time for about 3 hours after hi-tea before we head for dinner. We will be renting car, so transport not an issue. Tried finding musicals but seems like dont have any next week. The next thing i can think of is watching movie at gold class theaters. Besides this, anything else can suggest? preferably indoors cause we will be in smart casuals and heels.

what is the average price for air ticket from Singapore to Penang? anyone keep track of it? Thank you

Air Asia one shld be around 150 - 200. The last time i bought was during Air Asia promo and it was less than 150.

With Airasia, can try booking one way flights both ways and compare to their return tivket rates....you might be surprised!

Also, their specials (apply to other airlines also) on outbound flights may make you pay extra on return flights. ☺

Have a look at this:

The company Ocean Jupiter comes highly recommended at Tripadvisor. Can check with them if they can arrange something appropriate.

Hi,

any ideas what to do in penang for a 3d2n trip? going with my gf the day after tomorrow but we haven plan anything yet

so far we have planned to see the street art in penang as well as this ''xin wang Jiao jie'' where there's a lot of food. not sure if its called gurney hawker or smt??

other than this 2 place..basically dk what to do in penang...

 

[Bak_Chor_Mee]

there's plenty to do in Penang, depend on what kind of tourist u r.

Since u r going for only 3D2N, you can visit some of the museums. Street arts are mainly close to each other or just a short distance walk. Grab a street art map from the hotel and you can spend your day slowly exploring hunting for wall art murals and unique cafes. If time permits, you can head to Kek Lok Si Temple or even Penang Hill.

I wouldnt suggest eating at Gurney as the food there are for "chopped carrots".

If you are staying at Georgetown area, you can find some real good food at Kimberly Street, Jln Macalister, Jln Lebuh etc..
