Big Mouth Mural, Ryokan Muntri Boutique HostelBig Mouth Mural, Ryokan Muntri Boutique Hostel (6 July 2015)


There are a few murals at Ryokan Muntri Boutique Hostel, a reflection of its support for street art in Penang. As you enter the hostel, you will notice the mural at the five-foot way. It is of a man with an open mouth. This mural was done by British artist Gabriel Pitcher.

If you book a bed at Ryokan Muntri, you will use stairs. There is another mural on the stairway, of the evolution from caveman to backpacker.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
