Sungai Batu Archaeological Site in Kedah, Malaysia

Tuesday, November 5, 2019
History of Southeast Asia
Sungai Batu Archaeological Site: Oldest Civilization in Southeast Asia


Southeast Asia’s oldest ancient civilizations were made up of Buddhists and Hindus, and Sungai Batu is here to prove it.

Sungai Batu is an archaeological site in northern Malaysia, and it holds the ruins of several Hindu-Buddhist temples dating back to the 8th and 11th century. The site, which is located in Merbok of the Kedah state, is believed to have existed since 535 BC. It was a former thriving international entrepot, an iron smelting hub, as well as a religious center.

Due to Sungai Batu’s involvement in the global exports of iron, archaeologists have unearthed merchant ships believed to have been buried for approximately 4000 years. In total, the site holds 17 smelting plants, 13 administrative centers, numerous ritual sites, and 10 jetties. During a mapping carried out in 2007, 17 candi were found intact while 33 candi that were previously recorded by early British explorers have unfortunately vanished due to natural reasons.

Candi is a term describing ancient temples and ritual sites which have evolved into being today's historical monuments.

The ancient Kedah Tua Civilization went by many names in the past: Queda, Kalah Bar, Kalaha, Cheh-Cha, Ka-Cha and Qalha.

Local archaeologists claimed that the Kedah Tua Civilization was one of the world’s oldest civilizations, surpassing the ancient Rome and Greece civilizations. In 2016, world-renowned archaeologists confirmed that the sites found in Lembah Bujang were over 2,000 years old - putting them way ahead of Cambodia's Angkor Wat and Indonesia's Borobudur in the history timeline.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Status

Despite all the excavation efforts, scientific evidences and its potential to become the next international heritage tourism attraction, Sungai Batu is still not recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sungai Batu Travel Tips

As the Sungai Batu archaeological site has not been properly developed into a tourist attraction, here are a few things to look out for during your visit:
  1. Lack of information. While walking paths are available, there isn't any signage and direction being put up.
  2. Lack of tour guide. However, on certain days, visitors might be able to find volunteers or students for a free and casual guided tour around the site. Otherwise, one will have to rely on Google for information. The experience here is a far cry from that of Angkor Wat.
  3. Disintegrated ruins. While several candi are still intact, most of the major discoveries are left with scattered ruins that will not impress a visitor who does not have prior knowledge of the place.

How to Get to Sungai Batu Archaeological Site at Bedong, Kedah

Start your journey from Sungai Petani and take a shuttle bus to Sungai Merbok from the Sungai Petani bus terminal. The Sungai Batu Archaeological Site is located approximately 70 kilometers south of Alor Setar - the capital of Kedah and is easily accessible by car or taxi.

Sungai Batu Archaeological Site Ticket Price

Entrance to the Sungai Batu Archaeological Site is free. The recommended visit duration is half a day to complete the walking tour around the site.

    7 Most Beautiful Islands in West Malaysia

    Pulau Perhentian

    Malaysia is home to several islands with mesmerising emerald water and Pulau Perhentian is one of them. Located off the country's northeast coast, visitors can rejoice in the clear waters where a diversity of marine species thrive. Inexpensive and popular among both backpackers and luxury travelers alike, the island offers plenty of restaurants and bars to suit every pocket.

    Top attractions in Pulau Perhentian

    Long Beach, Turtle Beach, Teluk Keke, Pulau Perhentian Kecil.

    How to get to Pulau Perhentian

    From Kuala Lumpur, make your way to Kuala Besut Jetty located in the state of Terengganu. Next, take a ferry (10 trips available daily, RM35/way) for 45 minutes to arrive at the island.

    Pulau Tioman

    Pulau Langkawi

    This popular island getaway is located close to Thailand, and is only an hour and a half away from Koh Lipe - another popular island destination. In 1819, the island was cursed to seven generations of unrest, turmoil and hardship. Sure enough, the island was invaded by the Thais two years later - with the majority of the inhabitants dying from starvation. Langkawi was left barren until it was turned into a duty-free resort destination in 1986.

    Pulau Redang is located in the state of Terengganu at Kuala Nerus, famous for its white sandy beaches and unbelievably clear waters.
