| 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 padi 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.

| One of the northernmost states in Peninsular Malaysia, Kelantan Darul Naim borders Thailand in the north, Perak in the west, Terengganu in the south-east, the South China Sea to the east and Pahang in the south. As the state shares a border with Thailand, and, indeed, was once under Thai rule, it's not surprising to find a strong Thai influence here in the local cuisine, architecture, and, of course, among the local population. The capital, Kota Bharu, is a good place to sample this culture and cuisine, and also makes a good base to explore the surrounding countryside. Kelantan is a unique travel destination because of its splendid beaches, rich cultural heritage, ornate handicrafts and wood carvings. Women have always played a major part in the economy of the state. The handicrafts they produce, from Kelantan silver to baskets and cloth, are are some of the best in Peninsular Malaysia and are much sought after by both foreigners and Malaysians themselves. The Kelantanese seem to favour huge items and everything is big from the kites to the tops and the drums known as Rebana Ubi.

| As you leave the busy hub of Selangor and head north towards Perak, the character of the land changes from an urban profile to a scenic, undulating countryside. Here and there, you will spot pleasant plots of farmland and palm oil and rubber plantations set against a background of green jungle and jagged limestone hills. Covering some 21,000 sq.km., Perak lies between Kedah in the north and Selangor to the south. The Main Range mountains cut across the state of Perak, standing in dramatic juxtaposition to the flat, steaming plains of the western coastline. Often referred to as 'The Land of Grace' for its laid-back, timeless beauty, Perak is divided into nine districts. Each district has its own characteristic beauty and history, and tourist attractions include old-style Anglo-Malay and Chinese mansions, colonial buildings, ancient limestone caves, temples and cool hill stations such as the Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill) station. Perak's capital, Ipoh is a slow-moving, quiet town full of quaint old bungalows and is famed for its simple yet excellent hawker food. This food has such a reputation that it is not unusual for Malaysians from other towns to drive for up to three hours just for a bowl of delicious noodles! Perak has a western coastline facing the Straits of Melaka and not far off its coast are a number of islands. The nearest is Pangkor Island, off the coastal town of Lumut. Pangkor's unique island lifestyle offers visitors a variety of experiences and some outstanding beaches. And wait until you taste the cheap, fresh and delicious seafood here!
