Port of Satun

Satun, port

Ferries from Satun depart from Tammalang Pier, 12 kilometers from the city (tammalang pier on the map). There is a terminal with a waiting room and the minimum necessary infrastructure. There is a currency exchange of Thai baht for Malaysian ringgit with a good rate, although if necessary you can exchange currency, including dollars, at the port on Langkawi.

Getting to the port of Satuna is easiest using a comprehensive transfer, which is offered in travel agencies at popular resorts in Thailand. Prices for such a transfer are quite a bit higher than for a regular regular bus, but it is convenient that you are picked up from the hotel or travel agency, and all transfers up to the pier itself are organized. There are several transfers, but all of them as a result will take you to the place. Upon arrival at the port, you will need to purchase tickets yourself and take the ferry.

It is also possible to get to Satun by yourself on regular bus services or by train, Read more about how to get to Satun here...
