We met Sammy as we were about to leave Penang, and I must say that he gave us absolutely astounding service. I approached Sammy as we left the hotel to find out what a trip to the ferry would cost and he replied "About 5 Ringit". He was also prepared to wait for us, at no extra charge, while we went shopping for almost an hour. Then it was the trip itself down to the ferry and Sammy was kind enough to show us all the various temples along the route and a bit of history about them as well. Sammy's English is impecable, even though spoken through broken teeth. He must have been one of the friendliest people that I met in Penang. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

if you like to try on a trishaw ride, do consider about the size of the guy who gonna paddle you for side seeing. i came across a couple who are em... quite big size with a skinny old guy paddling them around penang town. oh... it reminds me of a hilarius scene in a chinese local comedy....

You can't go to Penang without having at least one trishaw ride. It's a wonderful way to see the sights of Georgetown, and the drivers generally double as a tour guide and have lots of information to share.
It is a little scary being amongst the heavy traffic, just hold on and hope for the best Leave a Comment Theme: Other

A trishaw ride is one of the best ways of seeing Penang. Besides the novelty of travelling in this open-fronted three-wheeled vehicle, trishaws allow visitors the opportunity of doing the sights at a more leisurely pace stopping at any point to snap pictures or buy souvenirs.
There is no standard fare and it would be wise to agree on the price before you step on the trishaw. For extended sightseeing, it is advisable to hire them by the hour. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

You can pick a trishaw to tour around town. Make sure you don't get the one with music because you can't talk to your partner during the ride. Be patient to wait for the trishaw to cross because roads are narrow and cars move faster than you thought. Theme: Other

If you want a nice, relaxing way to travel around Georgetown then jump aboard a tri-shaw and let one of Penang's incredible tri-shaw drivers take you on a tour. It's truly amazing how these wirey old men are able to push about 150kg of passenger plus their own weight! We climbed aboard near the SoHo Free House bar/restaurant on Jalan Penang and the guy took us for 1 hour all over Georgetown for about 20 Ringgit (we felt like we were ripping him off so we gave him an extra 10 Ringgit...).
