South Thailand

SATUN

Where is Satun? It is located near the border of Malaysia (less than one hour by car).It is the smallest of the fourth southern provinces with many Thai Islamic inhabitants . Therefore, the difficulty of finding a pork dish. There are many islands off Satun such as: Koh Tarutao, Koh Li-peh, Koh Adang, Koh Hin Son etc. Satun is facing the Andaman Sea, some 973 km from Bangkok. To visit all the island mention you have to take the ferry at Pak Bara pier. The things we can do in Satun are eating the delicious dishes, visited the national park or visit the islands which you can go snorkeling and exploring.
