local bus from Kota Bharu to cheap accommodation Georgetown


The cheapest transport throughout Malaysia is the local bus, cheap seats work for us; we tried out some dodgy accommodation in Georgetown...

We endured a chain-smoking, 'let's pass on a blind bend 'driver for our trip from Kota Bharu to Penang. The route passes through jungle terrain, and would be quite scenic during the day. RM 28.50 ea.(about AUD$10). The taxi into Georgetown cost RM35 (AUD$12.50).

There are some huge old Chinese Guest -houses in Georgetown for as little as RM22( AUD$8) a room, but without much security- beware of theives. Crystal is a good option at RM40 (AUD14.70) for 3, it includes hot communal showers, t-v, air-con and is very clean and secure.
