Known as the ‘Rice Bowl of Malaysia’ on account of being responsible for producing one-third of the country’s rice, Kedah is covered with picturesque rice paddies. Located in the north-western part of Peninsular Malaysia, it’s a destination known also for producing tobacco, rubber and palm oil, as well as for its established tourist infrastructure on the stunning island of Langkawi.

Holidaymakers invariably head for Langkawi, the largest and most populated island in the Langkawi archipelago, where stunningly beautiful tropical beaches can be found as well as a laid-back, relaxing atmosphere. The island is well-geared towards receiving tourists, offering an abundance of accommodation options ranging from mid-range bungalows to exclusive five-star hotels.
