| PERLIS,
the country's smallest
state, lies at the north-western corner of the Malay Peninsula between
the state of Kedah and neighbouring Thailand. The state's main appeal
is its refreshing serenity; a respite from the hustle and bustle of
city-life. |

Rice
farming is a principal economic activity here. The green expanse of
the rice fields, thatched-roof huts and local farmers tending to their
plots are all part of the state's rustic charm. The villages are quaint
and age-old customs prevail.

Due to the proximity and historical links with Thailand the people
have inherited some Thai traditions and its language.
T his is evident in the border town of Padang Besar,
where the blending of local Malay and Thai elements give the town
a unique flavour. Shopping for local products is a popular activity
with visitors to the town.
