Everything you Need to Know about Padang Matsirat Areas

Padang Matsirat is a quiet location off the Langkawi International Airport. The beach here is very peaceful and the waters are usually calm and inviting. The airport is the only point of major activity in this area, but if you want more excitement, Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah are located close-by.

Historically, Padang Matsirat was once a wide range of paddy fields that were set on fire by villagers during the Siamese invasion in 1821. They torched the fields to prevent the Siamese army from getting their hands on them. If you’re really observant, you might still find a piece of burnt grain on the ground today, almost two centuries later.

Where to Stay in Padang Matsirat

Although Padang Matsirat does not have the vibrancy of Pantai Cenang or the attractions of Pantai Kok, this area does promise a sense of tranquillity with a peaceful atmosphere. It’s also conveniently near Pantai Tengah and Pantai Cenang, while the airport is located in this area itself, making a breeze to find a hotel if you’re coming by plane.

Padang Matsirat Attractions
