It is adjacent to Sado District in Thailand and about 50 kilometers from Alor Setar, the capital of Kedah, and is known for its busy immigration and trade activities. As one of Malaysia's main gateways to Thailand, Blackwood Hill has customs and immigration checkpoints that handle a large flow of vehicles and travelers on a daily basis.
