Visa run to Penang, Malaysia
In Penang at the moment for 4 days on a visa run.

It's pretty fucking hot here , more so than Bangkok but at least I've got an air con room now - last night was with a fan and hungry mosqutoes - kunts must have bitten me about 50 times! (forgot to bring repellent - dor..!)

Can't say I'd want to live here - seems to be men only - not sure where the women are...

Hopefully get my passport back tomorrow with a nice double Tourist Visa - then back to BK on thursday.

Maybe do Vietnam next time...

As you can see in this picture there is a lot of oppurtunity to get building work in Penang, the place is falling apart.

Beware the local drug dealers who also moonlight as rickshaw drivers.

That tall thing is the Komtar Complex, shopping and office buildings. The tallest building in Penang.

Nice combined effort guys...CE you'd be a hopeless cvnt...

Four days there...no info about how you got there...how long it took..how much it cost...how you went about getting your visa...etc...could be of real interest to many here on the TD..

Marmers...we hope for a better effort from you in the next month

Sees Marmers as sort of a Jimmy Olson type, we should get a decent report.

The Health spas are actually hoe houses, the gals sit on side of the room and you sit on the other side and choose your companion for an hour, it's all quite depressing really, plus most are as ugly as sin so you got to be well pissed up before you go in there

Yes, Aging One is right - it's the Komtar Complex - supposedly government offices.

The bottom 3 levels consist of a 1970's council estate style shopping centre - all a bit grim really. The public toilets there are 0.2 Ringgit so that's about 1/2 Baht cheaper than Thailand - good to be able to save a little here.

The bus station is in the basement of this building , there's also a KFC and a Mcdonalds there for the Malaysian cultural experience.

You're quite true there Dog - there are many places that could do with a lick of paint - it all seemed quite modern on arriving yesterday but a short time spent strolling around reveals the decaying nature of the place.

hold your horses there chap...! only on my second day yet.


I came via AirAsia from Bangkok - my return ticket including taxes cost 5000B

I submitted my visa application today , for a double entry Tourist Visa.
This cost 200 Ringgit (about 2000B) - I have to go back tomorrow afternoon to hopefully collect.


Flight took 1 1/2 hours.


I got a taxi from the 'backpacker' area of Lebuh Chulia street to the consulate - cost 12 MR (120B) - one way.

I also got a taxi from the airport to the centre of Georgetown - 38 MR (380B) - there is a bus but I couldn't be arsed looking for it.


there's also a nice hill that overlooks Penang - surprisingly it's called Penang Hill - a long climb on a funicular railway - definitely worth the view.


Overall the place is a bit of a shitehole in my opinion - it's good to see different places though I reckon.

Not too bothered about that sort of nonsense on this trip - went to Pattaya for a couple of days before coming here.

The Dog's right - the women aren't too hot - there seem to be quite a few ladyboys around though - guess this is what happens when there is state sponsored sexual repression.
