A border town to Thailand, Padang Besar is located 50km north of Kangar. It can be said that Thailand and Perlis merge in this town, as the border is unseen although relevant signboards and checkpoints are available. There is a rather elongated railway station where one part of the Immigration and Customs counters are manned by the Thai officers, and the other by the Malaysian counterparts. Beyond the rail tracks lies Pekan Siam, a bargain hunters' paradise. Padang Besar also has a duty-free shop, Emas Kerajang, which offers a variety of imported goods.
