About Snake Temple In Malaysia

A chinese temple in Bayan Lepas, Snake Temple is an attraction is Southwest Penang Island district of Penang in Malaysia. The Snake Temple is also known as the Temple of the Azure Cloud in most places. The temple was built in the year 1805 for a Buddhist monk, Chor Soo Kong. The Buddhist monk is still holds a high esteem among the people of Malaysia. The Monk was spiritually enlightened and possessed a great virtue, medical knowledge and empathy for the people. People from Singapore, Taiwan and China also make a visit here, especially during the sixth day of the first lunar month which happens to be on the monk’s birthday. The Snake Temple gained more fame when it featured in the 8th leg of the famous “Amazing Race 16”.

Post the construction of the Snake Temple in Penang, snakes began taking shelter in the temple. Gradually, the name of the temple came to be known as "The Snake Temple". In the present time, the surrounding jungles which existed during the 19th century have been cleared, and the temple finds its location along a highway in an industrial estate. The snakes grew fewer in number after the development and it is now believed that those snakes which reside in the temple are returned to the snake farm cages at night and brought back during the next morning. Due to the modern infrastructure, the temple can be easily located from the Bayan Lepas airport in Penang.

Thousands of devotees flock to the Snake Temple in Penang in Malaysia every year to make a trip to the temple. This happens mostly during the birthday celebration of Chor Soo Kong. It is a very important event as it occurs three times in one year. During the other months of the year, the tourists make up for the crowd here. There is another spot here which is an additional hall devoted to Kuan Yin. Make sure to cover all the aspects of the temple.

    Niketa's 8 days trip to Penang

    I have been using Travel Triangle for more than half a decade now, so I hope you understand that I am saying this honestly… The quality is really going down!! My initial trips with Travel Triangle were flawless.. But my last two - Sept ‘23 & March ‘24 while alright, just weren’t as well done as th
    ey used to be.. It’s twice in a row that the service quality of Travel Triangle’s partners have disappointed me. While so far I’ve reached out to Travel Triangle quite blindly whenever I was planning trips abroad, I think I’m gonna have to reconsider my choices from now onwards…

    Package wasn't planned well as in the schedule did not cover many spots we had to do it on our own by hiring a driver there !! We had faced a technical issue regarding MDAC but the agent din't cater the issue well with us and was not available on call fr a half day which got us all messed up before
    the travel !! Hotel was so complicated and surprised they had two single cots for family booking and was not ready to even join the bedspace!! Breakfast was just okay !! Drivers nor the hotels were not kids friendly at all !! Overall efforts were okay !!

    1.No proper information from the travel agent after the 1st installment payment done. We had to call and text him for the 2nd and 3rd installment payment. No update about the payment invoice, travel update and booking of hotel room. 2. Room booking dates were not proper according to the standard che
    ck in and check out times. Faced difficulty upon arrival in a different country. ( The hotel reception were very helpful although it resulted in spending more money to check in).

    Great trip, thanks to travel 2agent, mr. Vaishnav ji had made a perfect plan and provided a good hotel's and cab. Cab driver cum guide Sharad is a nice person. He explained all about Malaysia. This trip made me most memorable and sweet, because this is my family first international trip. They did al
    l tickets booking and visa process on time. Thanks to Amit for contacting and responding on time. As a happiest customer I suggest you to all that, believe travel 2agent and they make you tension free, they treat like a king. It's awesome trip. Thankyou vaishnav ji and Amit ji once again. Each second of trip is best memories, because it's my first international trip. Thankyou travel triangle and travel 2agent.

    Animesh's 6 days trip to Penang

    I booked my trip with Kushark from 9th to 15th Feb 2024, while overall itinerary was good & customized, cabs & drivers were really good, but was not at all happy with following: 1. Hotel Selection for Singapore (J8 hotel), you literally dont have any option for breakfast in Veg unless you want to ha
    ve only bread, they dontr even provide warm milk (this is never recommended) 2. Timings for excursions should have been better, we lost good amount of time and had to rush because of that in Singapore. For eg Universal Studios timings are from 10AM to 8PM, but our pick up from hotel was 11 & return pickup was 7:15; unnecessarily we lost 3 hours and had to miss rides. Similarly for MBS non peak hours entry is till 4/4.30; but our pick up was arranged at 2:45 and got dropped there at 3:15 and due to queue we entered thr at 4:45 and again had to rush & finish it is very quickly. I would mention Ankush (from Kushark) for his quick turnaround before & during the trip for queries & information; which was very helpful. Thansk!

    Superb trip however horrible service by Travel Triangle with regards to Travel Agent Divya Saxena as I had to chase agent multiple times for the voucher and had to intervene multiple times to ensure that the same was taken care of. The agent was least bothered and took her own sweet time to get back
    . This service is appalling and totally Dissatisfactory. Kindly ensure that this is not repeated. Island Hopping and Batu Caves.

    Sunil's 6 days trip to Penang

    Booked Malaysia trip from Kkingsman Travels via Travel Triangle. The quotation shared was the best among other travel agencies. They answered every query and provided recommendations on the attractions and places to visit. They also addressed the special request we had to book a hotel with kitchenet
    te and ensured to reserve it as per our needs. The payment option was plausible with three instalments in a span of 45 days. During my initial quotation VISA charges were included but once Malaysian government relaxed it they ensured to deduct those charges in the final installment. All the vouchers were shared on time and there were no hiccups during the travel. Everything was planned and executed well. They were in touch even during the travel ensuring everything is taking care. Special mention to Bhavay Garg and Divya for coordinating. I would highly recommend this agency if you are looking to travel overseas for vacation
