Bordered by the
Thai province of Satun in the north, Kedah in the
south-east, and lapped by the gentle waters of the Straits
of Melaka on its western coastline, Perlis exudes quaint,
unspoilt beauty and old rustic charm.
Expansive
green paddy plains, punctuated occasionally by limestone
outcroppings, along with the laid-back village lifestyle
make driving a refreshing and pleasant way to experience the
offerings of this destination. The state capital of Perlis
is Kangar, while Arau, only 10 km away, is the traditional
royal capital of the sultan.
Perlis lies
on both the road and rail routes linking Singapore and Kuala
Lumpur in the south to Bangkok in the north. From
January to April, the weather is usually warm and dry with
September to December being wetter months. The annual range
of temperature is from 21C to 32C.
