Satun
POP 33,400
Lying in a steamy jungle valley surrounded by limestone cliffs and framed by a murky
river, isolated Satun is a surprisingly bustling little city - the focal point of a province
that's home to a quarter million people. Malaysia-based yachties, passing through for
cheap repairs in Satun's acclaimed boat yard, are the only travellers who seem to hang
around, but if you wander a bit before you leave, you'll see some interesting religious ar-
chitecture, lots of friendly smiles and plenty of gritty charm.
