Kuala Perlis
"
Kuala Perlis jetty is a major departure point (besides Kuala Kedah) for Langkawi Island as well as southern Thailand's coastal towns, and it also serves as an exit and entry point to Phuket Island as well as other southern coastal Thai towns."
Kuala Perlis jetty is one of the two major departure points for the legendary Langkawi Island, the other being the Kuala Kedah in Kedah. Kuala Perlis has long been a major port linking Perlis with Langkawi, Penang as well as Phuket Island and other southern coastal Thai towns.
Located at the estuary of Sungai Perlis (Perlis River), about 13km from Kangar town, Kuala Perlis is actually a quaint fishing town known for delicacies such as ikan bakar (grilled fish), assam laksa (noodles served with spicy fish gravy) and fresh seafood. It is a good place to relax at dusk and watch a spectacular sunset, or the fishermen returning with their catch.
For more information, please contact the Kedah State Tourism Office which also handles Perlis state tourist affairs, at 604-7312322 or 604-7301322.
