Penang is located at the north end of Malaysia. It is a short flight away from the popular Thailand vacation destination of Phuket. Many people miss Penang off their bucket lists, but we think these people are missing out. Here are six reasons to give Penang a chance.

It Has a Rich Cultural History

George Town is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its streets contain ancient buildings, which mix British, Malay and Chinese architecture. Walking through George Town is, therefore, like stepping back into the city’s colorful colonial past.

There’s Street Art Everywhere

If you take a stroll through George Town, one of the first things you will notice is that there is street art on every corner. They offer insight into the culture of the city.

You Can Spot Monitor Lizards

Monitor lizards are the size of Komodo dragons only they are much shier and are unlikely to approach. You’ll spot many of them in Penang’s national park, but if that’s not your thing, Monkey Island offers just what it promises.

The Food Is Unreal

The food in Penang is reason enough to visit on its own. The multicultural aspect of Penang means that it offers a whole host of world cuisine. Little India is particularly special and offers authentic and delicious Indian cuisine for extremely cheap prices.

It’s Walkable

It’s really easy to get around Penang. The public transport is pretty decent and once you are in George Town, you can get to the different attractions and foodie spots by foot.

It’s Affordable

Last but not least, Penang is very affordable. It caters for all different budgets and you can eat out for $2. There is a great choice of hostels in the center and they start from as little as $4 a night.

A brand new water slide in Penang, Malaysia, just entered the Guinness Book of World Records for being the longest water slide in the world. The slide takes four minutes to get from top to bottom and is 1.1 km long.

The slide is located in the Escape theme park and smashes the previous German record for the longest water slide at Galaxy Erding (356 meters). The park meanders through a forest and riders will plummet and loops through the treetops.

Sim Choo, the CEO of Sim Leisure Group explained: β€œThe idea of this water slide came about over frustration that most fun rides and water slides last merely a few seconds, and having the water slide start on a hilltop at a 70-meter elevation would make this ride last a good few minutes.”

He added: “Escape embraces the philosophy of promoting eco-literacy through fun, this water slide would ride guests through the jungle down the hill and all the way to the other side of the water park.”

Would you ride the world’s longest water slide? Let us know in the comments below.
