Satun
สตูล
Satun is a peaceful Muslim-majority province on the Andaman coast, serving as the gateway to the Tarutao National Marine Park and the stunning Koh Lipe, dubbed the 'Maldives of Thailand.' The Satun UNESCO Global Geopark, recognised in 2018, encompasses fossilised landscapes dating back 500 million years, including ancient sea beds and cave formations. Unlike the neighbouring deep south provinces, Satun has remained peaceful, and its relaxed multicultural character blends Thai, Malay, and Chinese traditions.
