To all fellow Tour Guides, Friends and colleagues in the Tourism Industry, HAPPY WORLD TOURISM DAY!

Teluk Bahang, sleepy town to most locals here but it is very well known for its tourism activities, long pristine beach and a fishing port. In fact, this place has the most tourism players on the island! In English, the name means The Bay of Heat, mainly due to high temperature sea breezes in this area. And which tourism spots are found here? They are The Tropical Spice Gardens(spice of life), Penang National Park(the smallest national park in the world!), Craft Batik(unique traditional hand painted textile), Escape Adventure Play(the longest water slide in the world!), Entopia(the largest butterfly sanctuary in Malaysia), Teluk Bahang Forest Eco Park(for glamping, camping, picnics and waterfalls), the Teluk Bahang Water Dam(the largest water dam in the island), Boulder Valley glamping site, Tropical Fruit Farm(a must go to see variety of Malaysian fruits and New breeds) and the local mamak stall near the roundabout which started off the first Roti Canai Ice Cream craze! Also there is a good collection of accommodation found here, namely the Bahang Bay Hotel and The Angsana. Practically can spend a whole day here for Cuti Cuti Malaysia away from the bustling city. Make sure your camera is well charged.
