Overview
The two northern states of Kedah and Perlis show traces of Malay history that date back even before the Melaka Sultanate. This is the "rice-bank" of Malaysia and visitors are greeted with stretches of green 'padi'/rice plants gently swaying with the breeze which turn to a golden brown when the padi is ready for harvesting. The gentle plains merge with undulating hills and valleys, rising to the majestic limestone mountains in the north and east. The legendary Langkawi Archipelago steeped in history and myth, a haven for tourists, lies offshore. The history of both Kedah and Perlis has been intrinsically influenced by Thailand.
