from Bangkokâ??s Hualampong station to Malaysiaâ??s Butterworth station you have about 22 hours by train. The ferry to Penang is about one hour i think. I did it many years ago.

By bus you are faster.

 

But always important is: If you are intend to take the train, buy your train ticket early!

Nah, the ferry ride is shorter than that. I remember wishing it would have lasted longer. The only disadvantage in flying to Penang is that you land on the island and miss the ferry ride. It's like a trip to the past. First time I did it, the RAAF were still in Malaysia. With the RAAF guys in uniform around, you could easily imagine you were back in the 1950s before independence.
