Kuala Perlis

城市概覽

Kuala Perlis is only a couple of kilometres from the Thai border and very close to the Thai town of Satun. However, national parks on both sides of the border create a green barrier and there is no direct road between the two towns.

如何抵達

The nearest legal border crossing from Thailand by road is about 45 km north of Kuala Perlis.

By train The nearest train station is at Arau, the stop before the border station of Pedang Besar. It is on the line north from Butterworth and south from Hat Yai in Thailand. A taxi ride to Arau costs RM15 and takes about 25 minutes.

By bus There is a bus terminal in 5 minutes walking from the pier. Buses run amongst the others for Butterworth and Kuala Lumpur. If you are heading to Butterworth bear in mind that there is no ticket counter for this destination. You need to book your ticket ahead using one of the online services (Easybook, BusOnlineTicket etc).

By boat Consider crossing the border by boat: boats run between Tammalang pier near Satun in Thailand and Kuala Perlis. You can also take a ferry from Langkawi Island. Langkawi Ferry Line (check the website for timetable) provides around 8 ferries a day (RM18) but the schedule can change due to water level.
