Laman Padi Langkawi

It's a really beautiful spot but I don't think anything is open... I was the only person there. A lot of people working on the place building/gardening etc but no other visitors. No signs to explain anything about the rice paddies so maybe it isn't actually open. But it's very pretty. And I enjoyed watching the water buffalo have a roll in the mud and chase a bird.

Very interesting visit, we learned everything about the sowing, harvesting and processing of the rice. We had a guide who explained all the process inside the museum and then showed the different stages of the process in real life. We even did plant a bit of rice! She also showed us how to open a coconut, and how to shave the Coco itself. We learned a lot. The place was mostly empty most of the time, so there's no issues with be too crowded. Recommended.

This has got to be our highlight of Langkawi. It is a hidden gem where you get a hands on experience for a cheap price! We had a guide show us around the museum and explain the history of cultivating rice in Langkawi. We then made our way to the herb garden where the second guide Rushdy showed us the different medicinal uses of each herb. We grated some fresh coconut which we ate immediately (delicious)! I asked to take the leftovers to my hotel which I enjoyed later on. Then we made our way to the rice paddy to plant the rice. The 3 guides who showed us around were all fantastic! We really felt the personal touch to the whole experience. All in all we paid about £4 each (20 ringgit each). It’s too cheap for what you’re given. My only suggestion is that someone is manning the front desk as we waited around for a long while looking for someone to buy tickets off.

We had a wonderful experience here. The place is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers a great insight into the history and culture of rice cultivation in Langkawi. Our guide, Fishah, made the visit truly special: very knowledgeable, kind, and passionate in her explanations. Highly recommend both the museum and Fishah’s tour for anyone visiting Langkawi!

Great way to spend a few hours. Lot of fun mini activities you can try. Planting rice, rice mill, some traditional games... We had super nice tour guide. Highly recommend.

I had amazing time and highly recommend this place for a visit! I went to the museum part first because I wanted a tour with the activities. I did tour package B which included the tour(rice museum+herb garden) with demonstrations and coconut grating. It was a very interesting and informative experience. The tour tickets can be bought at gallery padi which is the free rice museum with air conditioning. The tour starts with an introduction at the rice museum. Then we went to the fields to harvest and plant rice ourselves. Afterwards, we went to the coconut grating demonstration. Then there was another demonstration for grinding the rice, separating rice from the husks, and using a machine that pounds it. Our tour guide then explained the different herbs grown in their garden. Additionally, they gave us a free demonstration and tasting of the cooking of coconut balls which was not included in our tour. However, be aware that you might have to look for someone/call for a tour since there seems to be only 3 people running the tours and they just start when there are people interested. I joined a couple for a tour who arrived at the same time. The staff was very friendly, hospitable, and helpful. I recommend staying here for a few hours to enjoy and learn more about rice and local agricultural processes. There are also free bathrooms by the museum. Apparently, there is also a spa but I didn’t go.

We stopped in here and did one of the activity packages they have on offer. We did a detailed guided tour of the rice museum, a detailed tour of the herb garden with tasting, skinning and grating a coconut and planting and cultivating rice in the field. For 2 adults and a child it was 55RM which is great value. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. It was an excellent couple of hours.

I came on Sunday morning ard 9.30am. It is just a place where the mini padi fields are. No activities for visitors. We are on our own to explore the area. You can skip the place.
