Captain Haddock Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm looking to head off to Satun for a few days in October. I'll be travelling with the wife and two-year-old. Does anyone have any practical advice or tips for good places to see/stay? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Haddock Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Really? I will definitely have to include it on my itinerary. You don't happen to have a map of the place do you? Maybe it's a bit off the beaten track or by invitation only. And how exclusive is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just head out of town towards Had Yai for about 20 kms then turn left towards Kuan Khalong. After about 5kms turn right :its signposted to a waterfall, follow that til you reach the waterfall. It is a lovely quite pace to take your family and it is safe . This environment is lush (rubber & Palm oil). There is nowhere to stay here so it makes a good day trip from Satun. In Satun the best hotel is The Pinacle about 800 baht and nearby some good restaurants and bakers and local cafes. The countryside all around is very pleasant and not geared up for mass tourism (thankfully) Satun is the departure point for the Tarutao archipelago. If you go Ko Lipe is good for families. We always stay at the Ko Lipe resort, safe and secure and cheap. Once there there are lots of places to visit by boat, but with a 2 year old you will have to take turns as boats do break down and the swells at this time of year may mean too rough. All in all it is a very pleasant and safe part of Thailand. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
