You won't have to spend big to take advantage of things to see and do in Arau. You can budget for the local attractions that interest you most, and then fill your itinerary with sights that cost little or nothing at all.

How can I get to Arau and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Arau can help keep you on budget. The nearest airport is 16.4 mi (26.4 km) from the centre in Alor Setar (AOR-Sultan Abdul Halim). However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to Hat Yai (HDY-Hat Yai Intl.), which is 37.2 mi (59.9 km) away. Arau might not have very many public transport options so a rental car could be a reasonable alternative to explore the area.
