Introducing Satun
Lying in a valley surrounded by limestone cliffs, the isolated town of Satun is a relaxing, if slightly ordinary, coastal settlement that makes a good base for visiting surrounding sights. The nearby Tammalang pier has boats to Kuala Perlis and Pulau Langkawi in Malaysia.

Housed in a lovely old Sino-Portuguese mansion just off Th Satun Thanee, the excellent Ku Den Museum (Satun National Museum; Soi 5, Th Satun Thanee; 8.30am-4.30pm Wed-Sun) is the only real attraction in Satun. The building was constructed to house King Rama V during a royal visit and the museum has exhibits and dioramas with soundtracks in Thai and English, covering every aspect of southern Muslim life.
