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.
