Travel Tips for Alor Setar
A Alor Setar General Tip
by l_joo
I visit Alor Setar when I was age 7 or 8 during my primary school time to my father's working place in this northern town. I remembered that time this town was so rural to a city boy like me and what I can recall was the river has a half floating restaurant where the moment our foods dropped into the water, hundreds of catfishes will fight for it. That was the most remarkable remaining data still in my memory. I also impressed by the green colors of those beautiful paddy fields and I remember I once walked into the paddy field to see a small snake and was so frightening but happy because it was the first ever from a city boy. I believe nowadays Alor Setar has changed to very modern looking with high rise constrictions and as usual, McDonald's KFC, Starbucks for sure.
Alor Setar Balai Besar
by SLLiew
This important royal building "Balai Besar" (Big Hall) was built in 1898 with Malay typical staircase and Thai influenced architecture and English wrought iron design.
It is still used for important state functions and royal ceremonies.
Balai Besar is located in the middle of downtown Alor Setar in a park and opposite the famous Zahir Mosque.
At one time it was also a State Museum but there is no a new State Museum near the City Stadium.
