How much money to budget for trip to Penang

Penang is a pretty affordable place to travel.

• For a budget trip, plan to spend $35-$45 USD per day.
• For a comfortable trip, plan to spend $50-$70 USD per day.
• Obviously if you want luxury you can spend as much as you wish, but I'd say a $100US per day can give you a very lux trip
