what's kayu hitam? any local food like err satay, ikan bakar sort of

Bkt Jayu Hitam is the border outpost between Thailand & M'sia. Nearest town/Village b4 Bkt Kayu Hitam is Chanloon where u can find lotsa parking & restaruants for tourist wishing to the sin city of Hatyai ..Alor Setar to Bkt Kayu Hitam is only 40min away & from Bkt Kayu Hitam to Hatyai is another 45min.

Yes Hatyai is another day trip possible from Alor Setar..Only 1.5 hr away . For town/fun, No need Hatyai..just after the Bkt Kayu Hitam is another flourishing town called Danouek...just 1KM away from Bkt Kayu Hitam...It's getting lively by days & actually more entertaining than Hatyai oledi!!

ah, i try danouek.

btw, whats the centre of attraction in danouek?

Tats why i hate going to my gran's house in Sungai Petani,im also goin this weekend haha.

I think you are talking about the painting at Muzium Padi Nasional...

http://yeinjee.com/2008/rice-museum-kedah-malaysia/ (my visit in March)

Danoek used to be Thailand sleepy town even wayback in Mid 1990 (i still remember it's just a small outpost town wth few wooden shops just after Thai border checkpoint... however M'sia North South Highway that link Bkt Kayu Hitam (Still sleepy till Today!! No progress at all ) has transformed this sleepy danoek into 2nd Hatyai..lotsa hotels 7 now more bricks shops houses & highrises ..and yet on M'sia side a shamefull no progress BKH!

I dun really stopped in Danoek bcos most of my trip is wth wife & children...but if u are single that town hv lotsa sinful activities..normally u can see lotsa guys from M'sian border crossing over for fast fix b4 returning to M'sia..Its much nearer than Hatyai which is another 45min away. & suprisingly hatyai nowadays is abit tame compare to 15yrs ago..Makan ...no idea..din stop there...normally makan @ hatyai..which is one cut-throat city & prices of food more expensive than KL & bangkok!!

do i need a passport to go to danouek?

go to UUM.

btw, is danuek = Tandop?

Whoa..Do u think no need passport to Thailand meh..U can try smuggler urself in but coming bck if u can't proof how u enter Thailand w/out passport...u are in great trouble...

Since you are chinese, you should eat the chinese food there cuz its more delicious and cheaper than KL. theres a famous mamak near mahathir's old house which is pretty good and reasonable too. its a peaceful place you know. just walk around and enjoy the non rushing schedule.

putraskyline....you from alor star rite?

i going alor star this weekend, for the hot air balloon.....what nice to eat nearby there ar?

Yeah I'm from A.Setar. I dunno about Chinese food, only know Malay food. For lunch, try those restaurant at Pumpong Area, a lot of choices. They are 2 famous restaurant there (Sri Pumpong and I forgot, its located 2-3 shop after Sri Pumpong). For evening, try Laksa at Kuala Kedah or Laksa Telok Kechai along Jalan Kuala Kedah. You will notice a lot of car, park at the side of road. If you go laksa Telok Kechai, dont forget to try Pulut Sambal.
