Unlike other southern provinces where the political unrest is still a worry for visitors, Satun is a peaceful and quiet destination that visitors shouldn’t miss.
For this week’s Freeze Frame, SW takes a look at tourist attractions in Satun.
 |
Baan Wang Tong residents harvest oysters from their farms and serve them fresh to visitors. |
 |
The Satun National Museum displays exhibitions related to the history, culture and traditions of Satun and its residents. |
 |
Lipe Island is one of Satun’s most famous attractions and a very popular place for scuba diving. |
One of the best known sights in the province is Sanlang Mangkorn, a 4-kilometre dune where visitors can wade through the water and see nearby fisherman’s huts. |
 |
Baan Bakan Yai is a recommended place to explore locals’ ways of life. Residents build temporary sanctuaries for fish near the coast as part of the community’s conservation project. |
 |
At Tanyong Po Bay, visitors can enjoy a variety of local food, for example, nam prik makham or tamarind paste (middle top), as well as yam khri se, which is made of sliced clams, bean sprouts and coconut (below). |
