Kedah has the distinction of being the "Rice-bowl of Malaysia" - a term that
takes on aesthetic significance when one sees the rice fields for themselves: the flat
expanse of padis against a backdrop of rolling hills provides a picture of utter serenity
that lulls the senses.
More than a land of mere scenery, however, Kedah is also the site of Malaysia's most
extensive ruins.

Like Malaysia's other states, Kedah has its share of rich cultural traditions, songs and
dances.
Due to its close proximity to Thailand, some of these traditions are Thai in influence and
origin.
The faces of Kehah's people also often bear signs of Thai or Achinese ancestry.
