SATUN Satun
is a small, mountainous province on the west coast, bordering Malaysia,
and predominantly Muslim, as evidenced by the large Bambang Mosque in
the centre of town. |

Most
tourists head out to the pristine islands of Tarutao Marine National Park.
There are 51 islands in two main groups - Tarutao group and Adang-Rawi group
- ranging from the largest, Tarutao, to small, uninhabited retreats used
for scientific study. |

|
The
landscape is full of underwater peaks, excellent beaches, calm and peaceful
coves, jungle and mangrove swamps. There's plenty of wildlife on offer,
including numerous birds and monkeys, as well as green turtles, dolphins
and dugong. |

There
used to be crocodiles on Tarutao - have a look at Crocodile Cave - and it
was also a penal colony, but now it is a top tourist attraction. Excellent
snowballing can be found at Lipe island, while neighbour Adang is stunning
with forest, hills and waterfalls. |

Around
Satun, there are plenty of interesting sights, including dove farms, forest
parks, huge waterfalls and temples. Thale Ban National Park is famous for
its abundant wildlife, with many waterfalls and caves worth visiting. |
