pangkor?not really beautiful as perhentian/sipadan or Kapas Islands..but pangkor is a cheap getaway,,,,as penang or pangkor, id recommend both as in penang u can do shopping, there are a lot of interesting places as well as an example, penang hill where u can take a cable train ride to the hill top then u can see the whole penang!! just rm4 return for the ride..penang has a beach as well, that is batu feringhi, 30mins from the city centre of penang, take bus 101 rapid penang i think rm 2 one way...

as for pangkor, u can drive or take a bus ride from KL to lumut..maybe less than rm25 one way, than u will take a ferry ride from the lumut jetty about 30mins..
pangkor is kinda beautiful...

this is my email:daus_anatomie@yahoo.com

from my facebook, u can see many pics that ive taken in penang, kapas island,perhentian island and pangkor..see ya!

Hi Evgeny. WHat are you looking for? If you love to have peacefully journey and want to snorkling, swimming, i will advice you to pankor. It also cheap and provide great service.

If you looking for food and love to walk at town, i advice you to penang. Their food are marvelous and you cannot find at many place even in others place in malaysia. Penang also full with many interesting place. Too me, if i looking for food and love to walk, i prefer to penang. But if i seek for some peace and want to get some rest, i will go to Pankor.

If you chosed Penang, you get both. City lifestyle with many cultures & beautiful beach.

I would recommended Holiday Inn Penang where you can get private & clean beach.

Distances To/From the Hotel

# Bayan Lepas International Airport - 45-minute drive
# Georgetown - 18 kilometres, 30-minute drive

Taxi, car rentals, limousines and coach transfers can be arranged by the hotel.

Holiday Inn Resort Penang is located in the heart of Batu Ferringhi. The hotel is easily accessible and only 18 kilometres from the city centre of historical Georgetown and a 45-minute drive from Bayan Lepas International Airport.

Penang Island is an island full of historical buildings built by the British, a long stay in Penang can help you to understand the culture of multi-racial communities: Malay, Chinese and India. There are many festivals take place in various months, in addition, the food varieties are also fantasic if you would like to try. In short, world heritage site, culture, seaside, food, and shopping are the key factors to be considered between Penang Island and Pangkor Island.

Pangkor Island, is an island you can enjoy the seaside, relaxing under the sun.

Penang will be the suitable place.. if you want beautiful beaches better go to redang, perhentian or tioman Island.. If you want both modern and history city is in penang and there are private beaches there too..

If you need just a relaxing, so the Pangkor is the answer, but if you need more than just a relax, so Penang is the good spot!

My vote is for Penang. You will get both world compare to Pangkor. And truthfully, there's nothing in Pangkor. We have a better site for snorkelling than Pangkor.

hi.. nice to hear from u..

well i can just tell u that i have been to penang and pangkor.. to me.. penang is much better cz even on the beach the water is much better and then they have some water fun and games also . like parasalling and banana boat.. and other stuff and its cheap u can bargain...

but pangkor is not a nice place... and the beach is not really cool also..

and in penang u can find cheap place to stay and food is ncie also.. ull love the food..

so ill suggest u to go to penang instead of pangkor..but that doesnt mean do not ever go to pangkor.. u take ur trip to penang this time. and next time go to pangkor..

its fun there also..

and to b honest in my life my first ever visite to a beach was pangkor and its like 2 years ago.
it was nice experiance. for me. cz my first time to see water of ocean so close to me.

Penang, bustling.... Pangkor, laid back. It depends on what kind of place you'd prefer in your current mood.
