Budget Penang Travel Guide — VisitPenang.com

Penang is genuinely one of the best-value destinations in Southeast Asia and we want a guide that proves it with real numbers — not vague assurances. The piece should cover: where to stay for under $30/night, what to eat for under $5 a meal (and where specifically), free attractions and why they're worth your time, the cheap transport options (Rapid Penang buses, grab vs taxi), and how to do a 3-day trip for under $150 all-in. We want a writer who has actually done this — not someone projecting from 2019 prices. Updated, specific, and honest about what 'budget' actually means in Penang today.
