Dear all,

Next year in February I will be visiting Penang again. I have been many times before, first by myself, later with my wife and now with my three kids. Im from the Netherlands and very much enjoy Penang for holiday reasons.

We will be staying in Georgetown for 5-7 nights but after that will be looking for good beaches where our kids can also swim, or at least play in / around the water. I have read about several options, the murky water / jellyfish situation. And I feel perhaps the beaches for our interest are better located outside of Georgetown.

Can you please advise us what would be a good destination? We would be looking for a seaside town/hotel/homestay/airbnb where we can visit the beach and play in the water. Where also we can find some restaurants nearby and just chill for another week or so.

Thank you very much in advance!

I’m curious has anyone here done IVF in penang based clinics and how much? Also, do these same clinics offer egg freezing and how much?

Hello Penangite, I'm planning to relocate to Penang in the near future and I'm looking for a good place for tennis. I'm hoping to find a club with good courts and a good tennis community.

I'm looking at Penang Sports Club and the Chinese Recreational Club since both seem to have plenty of courts. Would love to hear from anyone who are members and play there — how are the conditions and lighting, what's the general level of players there? Also, is it hard to get morning/evening court slots?

Or is there another spot I should check out? Thanks
