This is indeed a very well maintained and run pier. The immigration service here is first class. The money changer has become a trusted friend after coming in and out now for over 10 years. As a skipper, Clearing In n Out here is great as I can tie up my boat here at this pier easily n safely. Immigration n Harbour Master are next to each other n Customs is 1.5km down the road. Better still, return to ur boat n move it to tie up at the Customs pier a few hundred metres along.

A port with a mangrove forest nearby. Good place to stop by if you are visiting satun.
Sharifah I — Google review
Worth a quick stop. Lovely drive in with magnificent mangroves lining both sides of the road, a quiet pier for sea views and fishing, and a giant crab statue for photos. There’s a small museum about the area. Expect more people on holidays. Note: many stray dogs and monkeys—generally calm but be cautious.

Easy and relaxed experience getting ferry to Langkawi. Ticket was 450bt each and apart from festival times you have no problem buying a ticket here on the day. Also you can fill in your MDAC here on the day. Ferry time was 11.30 for me. While waiting it's well worth taking a walk in the mangrove forest. It's next to the port. Friendly monkeys 🐒 there too!

Ferry leaves at different times according to the tides. Today’s ferry was supposed to leave at 1.30pm but the boat didn’t depart until 2.20pm. Waiting for it to leave was like waiting for a boil to burst. Even when the boat was fully loaded it loitered around for ages for some unknown reason. There is only one daily crossing to Langkawi, and the timetable is a work of fiction. The terminal itself is quite pleasant comprising of small convenience stores, snack bars and travel agent touts. The currency exchange office is good. Rates are as good as anywhere in Hat Yai. Arrivals should ignore the hawkers and get the orange songtaews, that wait outside the terminal, into Satun, or to the bus station for onward journeys. The van service that operates from the terminal costs three times more. Refer to photo. For example van fare to Hat Yai from Satun bus station is 100 baht. Service runs hourly throughout the day.

Ferry terminal transfer between Langkawi and Satun. Also here you can transit to Pak Bara then to Ko Lipe, and Hatyai, also some other nearby destination. If you going to Ko Lipe transit through Tammalang, you can change money from here, you get better rate from here compare to Ko Lipe. There also have some agency could assist you with your next destination. Immigration staff here are nice, first time i saw with smiling face.

Thai immigration, customs and harbour master world class. Such cleanliness n great service. Sadly if you take a ferry to the 'other' side what waits for you is filth and opinionated 'service'. We have lots to learn

Offshore nature reserve with a central forest & a shoreline of black stones linked to local legends.
Slide 1 of 8
This place is worth visiting for the stunning dark stones alone—the way they glisten when wet is truly mesmerizing. Just be sure not to take any home, as legend says it brings bad luck! 😄
Klara K — Google review
A peaceful gem with a magical twist. Visited Koh Hin Ngam and honestly didn’t expect to be this enchanted by a place made entirely of black stones. The beach isn’t your usual white sand — instead, it’s covered in smooth, jet-black pebbles that shimmer in the sun. Super unique and photogenic. There’s a local legend that says anyone who takes a stone from the island will be cursed — which makes the vibe feel even more mysterious and sacred. I didn’t take one (just in case!). The water here is crystal clear, and the view of nearby islands is absolutely stunning. It’s a quick boat stop, but worth every second. Peaceful, quiet, and unlike anywhere else I’ve been in Thailand. Tip: Bring reef shoes if you plan to walk around — the stones can be slippery when wet!

A very unique and peaceful place in low season. Listen to the sound of waves creating relaxing sounds in the beautiful black rocks. There is a very nice snorkeling spot around the corner with great visibility. Take nothing but good memories otherwise… read the warning sign.
Felix L — Google review
Between all the white sand beaches of the other islands, you will suddenly find this black stone beach which is very weird but incredibly interesting. It is beautiful and a nice change of sight. You will come to this spot while you are on the inner private longtail tour.
Stephen — Google review
Very beautiful exceptionally smooth basalt rocks everywhere. Due to their dark colours they heat up a lot in the sun so do bring some footwear. Even though these rocks are so beautiful, you should take them away from the island. There is a charminly translated sign forecasting pretty much any curse imaginable upon you if you do take one of these stones with you. Apart from that it is also strictly forbidden to take natural treasure such as mussels or these rocks with you when you are leaving the country.
Gerhard — Google review
This is a beautiful island. More like a stopping point. The stones are awesome. Black in colour. Do not walk on stones with no shoes or sandles you'll hurt yourself or burn yourself or both. But is a nice spot especially as it lies on a historical volcanic site.
BCL A — Google review
A nice stopover during the snorkeling day tour. Feel funny for the curse if people take the rocks away from the beach. The rocks are very slippery when we try to land on the shore. Besides, the rocks are so hot that can grill your feet during day time.

History Museums
Slide 1 of 8
Construction was started in 1898 and completed in 1916 by Phraya Phumnatphakdi or Tunku Baharutdin Bin Tammahong (formerly Kuden Binkumae), the ruler of Satun, during the reign of King Rama V. The mansion was intended to be a royal residence during a royal visit of King Rama V to the South. However, the king did not stay overnight here. The building was later used as an official residence and as the Satun Town Hall. Until WWII in around 1941, the building was occupied by Japanese soldiers as their command unit. It was also used as the Satun City Hall and other important official places. During 1997–2000, the Fine Arts Department renovated the Kuden Mansion into a western two-storey brick building. Curved doors and windows are in the European architectural style of art. Its Thai-styled hip-roof is covered with Spanish terra cotta roof tiles. Window panels consist of wooden shutters. The top of the pediment is adorned with a star-shaped vent in accordance with Islamic architecture. Inside, there are displays of history of Satun town and ways of life of the people of Satun, such as the sea dwellers of Ko Lipe, pot making, a room of the ruler of Satun’s residence, a room of the Thai Muslim culture depicting arts, culture, traditions, local lifestyles, etc. The museum is open on Wednesdays to Sundays from 9.00 a.m.–4.00 p.m. It is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and public holidays.

The fee to enter this museum is 50baht per adult. Not sure about the kids. Good thing was, we went for three person but they gave discount so one person didn’t have to pay. Thank you for that!🫶🏻 but to me it was kinda pricey because it was just a small museum and not really well maintained😭 But overall the museum was kinda dusty. Me and my friends were sneezing throughout the visit😭🤣 Not recommended for people with allergies to dust. And we were so sweaty during the visit because the aircond was down and the upper storey was so hot. The explanations were in audio format but it wasn’t so clear due to the sound quality. But you can still look around. I mean it’s not that bad. Minimal written explanations can be seen. So yeah. Just “look” around literally😅 It was 4/10 for overall experience. If you have nowhere else to go you can visit here…. But if you have other plan, maybe just forget your plan to visit herr🥹🫠 I wish they would improve the cleanliness and ventilation at the museum. There are public toilets beside the main building and they were clean! 4/5 for toilet! Wheelchair friendly toilet is available too. Parking provided beside the main building. You can also buy some souvenirs outside of the museum. Oh but the exterior was well maintained for an old building. You can take pictures outside :)

Nice local museum covering the broader Satun area and islands. Not big but inexpensive, informative and good for an hour or so.

Very beautiful place with lots of incredible history about the town and people. The staffs were super nice and very helpful. This place will take u back to long long time ago, to show you everything you could ever think of. Such as people, foods, places, and cultures. 👍🏽👍🏽😇

small museum, well kept, informative. but it was pretty hot inside since there's no A/C nor fans (windows are open). when it's blazing outside, you can't really focus enjoying history and only thinking about getting out.

Interesting historical remains, especially the Malay people. Ku Din Ku Meh (from Amir Azahari Al-Saadi in Facebook) Ku Din Ku Meh was born in 1848 at Anak Bukit. At age 14, he worked as a Prison Warder for Kedah. He was fluent in Malay and Thai. He wrote many books on law circa 1894. His wrote in Jawi. He was the Governor of Satun or High Comissioner of Setul (Satun). His book are kept at the Thai National Archives in Bangkok.
