Useful tips for visiting PenangUseful tips for visiting Penang (6 February 2013)


I often get questions from people who are planning their vacation to Penang. Often it's the same question repeated again and again. I have written a number of useful articles that will help people planning their visit to Penang. Rather than attempting to explain the same thing over and over, I have decided to pool together all the various pages of advice I have written on one page. If you are coming to Penang, I hope that one or more (or all) of these articles will be helpful to you!

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
