hi im getting confused about where to go to in malaysia ... was planning on kota kinabalu but know am wondering about panang or langkawi? can anyone give me some advice?
I've been to Penang, it was nice. If you choose Penang & you want to be close to the beach, night markets etc stay in Batu Ferringhi. Otherwise George Town is the shopping part, but its crowded & a bit dirty & not as scenic or touristy as BF. We stayed at the Lone Pine, its only a 3 star & definately would not call it flash, but the staff were so accomodating & the food & facilities were great. The night market was just outside the entrance to the hotel. We stayed there with our 11 month old & they fussed all over her.
As for Langkawi, we are going there shortly, but its more expensive accomodation wise than Penang.
