Option in Satun, ThailandOther than the islands off the coast of Satun, the province doesn’t get many tourists. Consequently, there are not a lot of travel options for getting to or around Satun. From Malaysia or the Thai mainland however, there are boats taking passengers in both directions, including to/from the islands of Satun, such as Koh Lipe and Koh Tarutao. Otherwise, Hat Yai is the nearest large city with a train station, international airport, and major bus depot.
