If there was ever a time I felt like I was going to die, it was definitely when I took a van from Krabi, Thailand to Penang, Malaysia. I know I said I thought I was going to die in the past, but this time I’m serious. It was so bad I actually wanted to fly a plane, and if you know me, you’d know I’m deathly afraid of flying.

Once in Penang, I stayed at the best guesthouse you’d ever come across. It’s called Old Penang Guesthouse and they provide all patrons air-conditioned rooms, free breakfast, free wifi, hot water, toilet paper, clean sheets, lockers, and towels! All this cost me a measly $5USD/night! (Tourist Tip: when traveling to other guesthouses, bring your own roll of toilet paper. Don’t assume you’ll be provided one.) Reception also acted as a tour desk and offered cheap bus tickets to Kuala Lumpur. 

I came across a few travelers who only came to Penang for a few days and ended up spending a few weeks instead. Here are a few of the sights I came across that you might enjoy as well:
