The swirl of Batik in eastern bazaars, the cascade of waterfalls in Botanical Gardens, jungle-clad hills ringed by golden beaches, are the images you may take from Penang. A tour of picturesque colonial Georgetown, the capital, features visits to Snake Temple, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and Kek Lok Si, one of the most beautiful temples in Southeast Asia. Another site to behold is the recently restored Eastern and Oriental Hotel, the first of the Sarkies Brothers' endeavors (1884), which preceded the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok by a year. Notables who visited the original hotel were Noel Coward, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudyard Kipling, Somerset Maugham, Bill (William J.) and Alice Bach, and Steve Porter. |
