Arrived in Penang
We arrived in Penang, Malaysia. By the way, we walked to Malaysia from Thailand (across the border)!!! We ate at the local Night Market, which had delicious food. The next morning we got a Heritage Trail Map for Penang and walked around and saw many old buildings from Colonial periods and old Chinese mansions (which were well cool!). That evening, …
The Year of the Dragon
It was a wrench leaving lovely little Melacca behind, but travellers need to be travelling and Penang was calling.
We caught the night bus , an uncomfortable 8 hour journey. Arriving in Penang at 5am it was still very dark so we hung around the bus station until first light, keeping company with a couple of Argentinian lads and a coffee …
The rustic island
Monsoon rains and cracks of thunder and lightning to make the bowels loosen is all that greeted me!
Knowing that its not good to be in the middle of an open space with high metal objects around, taking a FERRY ride through the storm wasn't the most sensible of choices but I was going where the tour group went - no choice in that one. Wind …
Penang
Didn't have too much time in Penang to be honest! Had a nice easy border crossing from thailand, and gained a couple more stamps for the passport then headed down to Penang. Just spent the one night there - in the Hong Ping hotel. Had a delicious Indian meal that night though, was a little bit better tha Park Gate Tandoori!! Next morning we fully …

“ Great service but poor room! ”
Reviewed May 5, 2013
We stayed at this hotel for 1 night and whilst the service from the lady owner and her husband was amazing the room unfortunately didn't cut it...for me. I'm not going to write anything bad though as I think all the accommodation in Chulia Street, Penang, where the hotel is located, caters mainly for backpackers and people on visa runs who want 1 or 2 nights and aren't really bothered about the room they are in. If this is the case for you then give the Hong Ping a try as they really are nice people! It's fair to say I'm no backpacker!! Also NOTE: NO WIFI IN THE ROOMS.

“ Best on Chulia Street ”
Reviewed Jan 25, 2012
We looked at all budget places on Chulia Street. The Hong Ping offered the best value. Most budget places overpriced and unclean.
