The busiest part of the town (Kuala Perlis) will be the jetty where passengers catch the ferry to the duty free Langkawi Island. As stated in the previous post, Kuala Perlis is one of the major departure points for the legendary Langkawi Island. It also has long been a major port linking Perlis with Langkawi, Penang as well as Phuket Island and other southern coastal Thai towns.

Other than the departure and arrival halls there is nothing in the terminal building itself as other amenities are available just outside the terminal. 

During our visit to the jetty, we've noticed that there are constructions happening inside the jetty. The jetty is undergoing facility upgrades. This shows effort in improving the facilities, which allows better services in the future.



There are also some constructions outside the jetty. It is in progress building stalls kiosk.


However, the visit to Kuala Perlis would not be complete without taking a bite on some of their local food. There are lots of small food stalls and restaurants located near the jetty. One of the famous food there is 'Nasi Gulai Panas'.




The specialty here is we can choose fresh fish to be cook stew or fried. It is include with rice, 'ulam sambal belacan' and 'kuah gulai'.



p/s: More interesting places & food galore updates will be feature in upcoming blog entries! :)
