I was sitting on a bus in New Zealand, travelling from Tauranga to Auckland writing my story about our trip to Thailand when I realised I had forgotten all about our trip to George Town.
How could I forget George Town?? I reminisce about this beautiful town on the island of Penang, Malaysia as I go through my 1000’s of photos.
We came to Penang from Langkawi to spend a night with Chris’s brother and nephew as they were holidaying here. It was wonderful to see them and share a meal and a few Tigers.

We love Penang, almost as much at Langkawi! And George Town is a very photogenic town, with its famous street art, little surprises around every corner. I love the Chinese shop-houses, the more run down the better! The chipping paint and miss matching shutters are fascinating. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights there. It was like putting on an old favourite comfy jumper, going to the same old places we have loved, seeing things again with fresh eyes but the same awe and appreciation.
George Town is recognised as having a unique architectural and cultural townscape without parallel anywhere else in Southeast Asia and contains one of the largest collections of pre-war buildings in S.E.A. George Town became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2008 and is the second largest city in Malaysia.
I hope you enjoy this photo journey through George Town and it reminds you of the time you were here, or it inspires you to make the trip to Malaysia.
Penang is definitely worth a trip! If you are in Malaysia, don’t miss it out! And of course the FOOD IS FABULOUS!
