Time for a walk at Penang Botanical Gardens to burn off some calories after gobbling all the lip-smacking Penang food. The open hours are from 5am to 9pm. Waking up that early for exercise is definitely not my style.
Spotted George at the park. He seemed curious, as usual.
Warning: Adult Content. Er hem… Let’s leave George alone now.
This botanic garden is really big! It’s like a forest waiting for us to explore.
Mind you, the monkeys in this garden are aggressive creatures! When we were walking under a cage-like pathway, a ferocious monkey climbed above us and shook the fence, shrieking at us! Luckily it didn’t advance further.
Some monkeys have got style too. Well well, aren’t we talking about Botanic Gardens now?
Here you go, some beautiful flowers blooming in the garden.
What to see and do in Penang Botanic Gardens? This is the official site about Scenes & Activities in the Gardens.
During the week in Penang, the weather was stormy. Look at the overcast sky. Heavy rainclouds loomed over Penang since our second-day stay. Time to go before we had to take shelter together with the monkeys.. *Scream!!*
The ice-cream seller at the entrance of the Botanic Gardens can speak Mandarin.

Ha Ha, haven’t been to Botanical for ages to visit our ‘relatives’! LOL
Looked awesome!
Haiya…why with the monkey?
hehehe…
@peteformation: No wonder they r aggressively trying to catch our attention! XD
@Zara: Cos peteformation said they are our “relative”. LOL
you are so lucky to get the monkey photo…haha…
@TNH: Aiya the monkeys do it openly at the main roadside near the entrance. Attention seekers LOL
I assume the admission is free. I guess we need to be careful with our valuables there as the monkeys might snatched it
@Borneo Falcon: Yes admission to Penang Botanic Gardens is free. I saw a ticket booth there and it was very run down haha. Wow monkeys snatching our belongings? Not surprise! They are not afraid of humans at all!

@dede: Those monkeys look cute but not tame! =P
I think we need to be passionate with what we do, then we can do better in that area. Just like it’s not a chore for me to manage this blog cos I enjoy blogging my travels. That’s how I manage it. =)
hahahaha… the “thanks for your thumbprint” photo is hilarious… that means it tastes very organic!
The “thumbprint” photo puts you buying food at a vendor stand. I like the monkey photos – very opportunistic. Looks a superb tropical garden.
Beautiful and interesting pictures! I’m sure the monkeys gave you a good laugh. Good job on getting an “action” shot! 🙂
We have Botanic Gardens here in Denver, too. I’ll have to take a visit soon and add the photos to my blog. It will make a good addition to my photo page.
OMgz….Eunice!
What the -_-”
Lolx…the monkey pics…
Opps…
@spoolartist: LOL Luckily I didn’t buy any ice cream bun from him!!! eeeks!
@Mark H: haha his thumbprint may worth a million
@Janet: Gee a monkey also wanted to attack us for no apparent reason, giving us a fright!
@JeromeFo: ^o^
@Eunice
If the thumbprint is worth a million, maybe you should sell it on ebay! 🙂
@Janet: Hehehe Y didn’t I think of that? I didn’t buy any buns from him. Perhaps I can trade the bun and end up getting a house! LOL
hahaha. George was kinda busy. made me laugh, eunice. well what can i say… very nice shot! LOL.
@Miss Elle: George is curious u see. XD
Wow. Is that a rainbow in the first pic or just an error in the image from the camera?
@Travel Blog: Yeah it’s a beautiful error. A rainbow just happened to misplace itself in my photo. LOL
The monkey photos are hilarious. I remember feeding a monkey peanuts when I was in Malaysia a few years ago. The thumbprint bread vendor is pretty funny too. I wonder if that person discarded that part of the bread. 😀
As usual, I’m fighting excessive salivation whenever I visit. What a lovely place to visit and what a good idea to bring us with you. Respect!
@AVCr8teur: haha I think that person would just eat it. =P Those monkeys are ferocious! Not very friendly!
@Violet: LOL
