A little island off the northeastern Malaysian peninsula, Penang will feast your eyes as well as your stomach.
My suggestion
After exploring Penang's lovely capital, Georgetown, head off to the beaches at Batu Ferringhi!

Ancient spice route trading post, Penang has long fascinated travellers. This little island located in the Strait of Malacca is really a place apart in Malaysia.
My suggestion
If you must choose only one island on the western coast, it is definitely Penang that you need to visit.

Penang is an island located off the northwest coast of Malaysia.
My suggestion
If coming by bus, make sure you check whether it's Butterworth or George Town you'll be arriving at.
The western coast islands, less popular than the those on the oriental coast, will delight the visitors who venture there. Easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, they present a diversity of landscapes and auras as well as a rich cultural heritage.
Malaysia is a surprising country in every way. And the cluster of lakes linked to one another that go by the name of Tasik Chini will definitely live up to expectations! If this is not the case, then maybe the lake's monster will leave you speechless; rumour has it that it haunts the depths!
