Penang Botanical Gardens
Looking
for a nature walk and hike and see wildlife? By that I mean be prepared to be hounded
by very bold and daring monkeys which roam the grounds.
You
can purchase peanuts from the vendors outside the park to feed the monkeys, but
once inside, be very careful as these wild monkeys may snatch at the peanut
bags when you are not looking. They recognize food containers, so either keep
them concealed or hidden from sight.
Overall
a fun experience, just be aware of the risks and be smart in concealing your
packaging. They will leave you along when you have nothing left to give.

As the name suggests, a temple filled with non-venomous tree snakes. A definite unique experience as you are free to touch and stroke these unattended snakes which litter the temple grounds.
