GEORGE TOWN: Hotels in Penang are enjoying huge bookings, thanks largely to the recent problems in Thailand. Many foreigners have abandoned plans to go to Bangkok and decided to soak up the sun here instead.
Rooms in many hotels here are either fully or 90% booked since last month and the trend is expected to continue until early next year as foreigners holidaying on the island have indicated that they would stay until the end of winter back home.
