We only spent one full day on Penang island which we spent in Georgetown. As soon as we arrived we noticed Georgetown is such a mishmash of different cultures and architecture, driving down a road you could believe you were in London.

Ko Jum is paradise. Not sure what the whole island is like but ao si beach is amazing and Loma Sea view bungalows adds to the islands charm to make it something really special.

Its not easy to remember everything when you come to write it all down here- seems there's always something to write and something to slip your mind.
One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was the fireflies, think its my first time seeing them, ... Read more >

We headed back to Talet Kaset II with the 'ticket' we were given the day before and returned to the man. We sat down waiting for bus to arrive, he ripped our 'ticket' up and stuck writing on our sleeve- which I assumed said Khoa Sok. Made me feel ... Read more >

We decided as we would have to sort out transport the following day we would head over to find Talat Kaset II and see if we could buy our ticket in advance, and if anything know where we were going the next day.
We found the station and bought ... Read more >

Taxi from the airport cost us B500 (£10) for a 40min ride into the heart of the city- from research this seems to be the ... Read more >
