Loo Pun Hong – World Heritage site.
An old heritage building that dates back to 1886. I didn’t know what it was until I searched the name. But it was interesting enough to catch my attention.
The way it used to be.
A hawker selling food on the backstreets. This is still a common sight in Penang. They are largely “extinct” in most other cities and urban towns in Malaysia where they operate in hawker centres and markets. Penang is considered a hawker food heaven among the Malaysian Chinese population and deservedly so.

Famous Penang Road Teochew cendul.
The cendul is a favourite Malaysian dessert. The Famous Penang Road Teochew cendul shop is a family business with a history that dates back to 1936. A must-visit destination for travelers to Penang!
International Enterprise.
Not sure if this is a hardware shop or coffee shop. It looks like a popular happy hour joint for pigeons.
Too tired to walk.
George Town, the capital of Penang, is a city located on the north-east corner of Penang Island. The metropolitan area, with a combined population of more than 2.25 million, is the second largest in Malaysia. The inner city of George Town has a population of about 720,000 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its unique architectural and cultural townscape.
I have enjoyed exploring the city on foot. However, a rickshaw ride is a good alternative if your feet are tired.
Rantau Panjang town, Kelantan.
Rural town at the Malaysian-Thailand border. It has a duty-free zone which is probably its main attraction as a place of interest.

passenger seat view
In Malaysia, we drive on the left side of the road. The small towns are often congested as more buildings are built while the streets remain unchanged. Narrow streets and a lack of parking spaces are common in rural Malaysia.
old border town
This bustling town is separated from Thailand by Sungai Golok. The main street is lined with old wooden shophouses on both sides. Some newer concrete ones can also be found.

family transport
Motorbikes provide a convenient way to get around the town. There are many of them in these rural towns.
