Room and Roam

Hotel packages with a car offers great value for your money

Room and Roam packages, find some of the best Penang hotel deals for

your accommodation in Penang. Really, if you want to enjoy our beautiful Penang.

With a good Map of Penang, enjoy our island by driving or walking in the surrounding hotels you stay.

But if you need to really get secure a place to stay, then I would recommend you talk to a very good friendly local who is already in this business. The simple reason is this, you need to talk to someone first before you come here.

You need to have a feel of when is the suitable time to come visit us. Maybe which hotels or apartment is the cleanest, have the facilities you require, be it you are a traveler or a business man. Some like to know what festivals or events so they get the most from the trip with the room and roam. Food that is available.

But we all know the bottom line is how much one is willing to part, especially if it is your hard earned money. Of course, it is no big deal if it is a company sponsored trip.

Things to check

Get a confirmation via fax or email the reservation details of the package. Check to see all the details like the number of room book, the dates and any complimentary packages. Then you can ask how much you need to pay for the accommodations. Ensure they provide you with a valid company account.

It would be good to ask them to fax AND email a guarantee confirmation stating you have already made the payment.

Richard Goh is the one person I would recommend. He had been working for this agency New Bob since its infancy. When some visitors recommended that I checked this agency out, I never knew I will find a very old friend again. According to some travelers, Richard's package is not to be missed.

I have heard of New Bob Agency but never really know how great this company was until a few travelers felt, I should check them out. Richard has been organizing treasure hunts for some corporate companies and they feel he deserves to be recognized.

Check out the many Hotels participating in 2007 Tourism Room and Roam packages.

Besides these room and roam hotel deals, there are plenty more hotel with great deals. One of the Penang hotel best I recently found was a 3 star hotel. But how do you like a Penang 5 star treatment? That is how I feel about Lone Pine hotel after staying there. The Penang beaches lined along Lone Pine Hotel has one of the best beach scenery, one would ever look for.

In North of the island, beside our room and roam deal, Teluk Bahang offers a natural scenic sanctuary for some quiet times. Indulge in the pleasure of simplicity in Teluk Bahang Fisherman chalet. Another is family run set in a Balinese theme right in the kampong of Teluk Bahang.

And in Georgetown we have Segara Ninda home of the once King of Satun. It is more centralize, everything within walking distance with serenity and tranquility in a whole package.

Another hotel I love to stay which is more like home is the Good Hope Inn, situated near to the malls, Gurney Drive and wet markets of Pulau Tikus.

Fish Auction
A unique, fascinating method to sell or buy fish.

Boats returning around mid morning and the fun of silent bargaining begins

But we had an amusing time when a cheeky guy accidentally bump into Faith my US friend and the way he says "oops accident" was so hilarious.

The celebration is to honour the birthday of Lord Murugan, the youngest son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

It is also to celebrate the day when Goddess Parvati bestowed upon her son, Lord Murugan, the “vel” or lance to defeat the evil demon, Soorapadman.

Another interesting fact is, quite a significant number of Malaysian Chinese are also beginning to celebrate and fulfilling their vows during Thaipusam.

Nyonya Traditions

The Peranakan culture is essentially a cultural blend of mainly Chinese, Malay and some European descent, very often bearing the best of each.

Peranakan, which means, "locally born" in the Malay language, was to be the name of subsequent generations of Chinese-Malays.

To Westerners, they are commonly known as "Straits-born Chinese".

Through sheer hard work, the sin-kehs got richer and being street smart got into the good books of the British, became Kapitan and enjoyed a new life style. Cross-cultural relationships and marriages were natural by-products when these rich traders married local Malay women.

Some even went back to China to get husband or wife to remain in contact with their homeland.
