"Lai Penang Chiak Hong" is a Penang local Chinese "Hokkien" dialect of saying "Come to Penang for Holiday" I was born in the early 70's, a local "Hokkien" Malaysian Chinese, a history enthusiastic and I like reading history related books. I enjoy outdoor activities and I love our tasty Penang street food. I am funny and a down to earth person and I love guiding because I love to share my personal and family history, how and why my great great grandfather left China and came to South East Asia to look for greener pasture more than 150 years ago. I love animals, so much so that I am also a professional dog trainer. I love my country and I love Penang, let me show you how we Malaysians which are made up from multiple races living in harmony next to each others. Let me guide you in Penang and I shall show you the best of Penang, the histories, the stories, the cultures, the colors, the tastes, the smells, the fun and the list goes on and on. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I am a licensed City Guide

Let a local who has roamed the streets of Georgetown guide you through this historic city. For over 200 years, Georgetown has attracted immigrants from around the world, blending rich history, cultures, and cuisines. This tour covers the city’s history, cultures, and culinary scene from its time as a British Straits Settlement. Enjoy my personal funny stories growing up here and learn fascinating tales of early migrants.
