The only buses that travel to Kuala Kedah are from Alor Setar.

From the bus station, you can catch buses to just about everywhere on Peninsular Malaysia with regular departures to places like Butterworth Penang, Kuala Lumpur and many more.

If you do want to catch an onward bus, it is better to get to the bus station before evening when there are far fewer departures.

Alor Setar also has plenty of accommodation and a number of places of interest, while Kuala Kedah at the last count has just two places to stay close to the ferry terminal (turn right as you come out).

They are both fairly expensive for what you get (RM 60 - 70) and if you are looking for somewhere to sleep, you will have much more choice heading into Alor Setar.
