Discovering George Town, Penang: Malaysia’s Multicultural Capital 2024 | Travel Guide 🇲🇾

Hello and welcome to Malaysia! After an epic train journey from Bangkok (check out the video in the description), I took a 7-hour taxi ride to George Town, Penang. This city offers a relaxed vibe but be prepared for some seriously spicy food!
Join me as we explore the main tourist areas and dive into the vibrant street food scene. Cheers!
About George Town:
George Town is the colorful, multicultural capital of the Malaysian island of Penang. Once a significant trading hub along the Straits of Malacca, the city is renowned for its British colonial architecture, Chinese shophouses, and mosques. Beyond the historic old town, George Town is a modern metropolis with skyscrapers and shopping malls. Don’t miss the lush Penang Hill, which offers hiking trails and a funicular railway for stunning views of the city.

    Hi Chris, to answer your question about the French and food, we love all kinds of food, especially in Asia (and Italy ofc), but what we find we do better is simply French food haha. Croissants, macarons, bread, whatever we do well in France, can never compare to us abroad 😊 Also, don't think the French you meet (like these 2 girls) are annoyed/rude/unhappy/whatever other negative thing, they're actually very SHY. Yep, we are not a confident people! Trust me on that 😉 Keep on travellin' ✌️

    There's 2 kinds of Indian food in Malaysia. The one you went to is an Indian Muslim restaurant. Be sure to try the other Indian food that is served on banana leaves. It's not the same as the one you had. Also check out Malaysian Borneo if you get the chance. It's a whole other world with wildlife, jungles, rivers and beautiful islands.

    Did you just take the Thai's train to the Rantau Panjang (Kelantan) side of Malaysia, then travel from there to Penang??? If so I think you took the wrong train line. There's another train line branch off from Hatyai in Thailand and heading to the Padang Besar side of Malaysia. From Padang Besar, it's much closer to Penang and there's dedicated train service from Padang Besar directly to Penang. By taking this route, there's no need of taking the taxi, this route much faster, and most importantly, much CHEAPER.
