Pulau Payar (GPS: 6.0593, 100.04425) is a famous snorkelling destination in Kedah. It is located to the southeast of the Langkawi Archipelago. There are day tours to Pulau Payar from Penang as well as from Langkawi by speedboat. Visitors to Pulau Payar can stopover on a floating platform moored off the shore, and go all the way to the island, where it is possible to climb to the hill to the crest, for a panoramic view of the other side of the island.

The waters off Pulau Payar is crystal clear. The island and the neighbouring islands of Pulau Lembu and Pulau Segantang are part of the Kedah Marine Park. Collecting corals and fishing are prohibited on the island.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
