Interesting this one, I love Penang and the E&O Hotel and Slippery Sinoritas oposite for the nightlife.
Eastern & Oriental Hotel
Slippery Senoritas :: SS Club
This makes stopping in Penang for a few days before flying to Phuket, a really easy option, rather than having to fly through KL or Singapore.
I might try this in the Summer.
Can someone please ley me know what the flight is like when you have travelled with them.
Many Thanks
Drew
