1.Pak Bara Viewpoint
After checking in and settling down at the accommodation, take a moment to enjoy the atmosphere at the Pak Bara Viewpoint. This spot is not far from the lodging and is marked by a prominent large red sign and a giant sculpted marlin fish. It has become a landmark that everyone must visit for a photo opportunity. During the cool evenings, when the sun sets, the local residents of Satun often bring their families to unwind and relax here. The most beautiful time at Pak Bara Beach is during the sunset when the colorful hues of the sun and the sky create a stunning display. Speaking with the locals, you'll find that they often come to watch the sunset at the beach because each day offers a unique and captivating scene. The locals never tire of this view, and it's easy to see why - it's undeniably breathtaking.

2.Time-Traveling Bridge
At 4 o'clock in the evening, make sure not to miss the "Time-Traveling Bridge." It's another must-visit location near Pak Bara Beach. This attraction is situated within the Hat Pak Bara National Park. To enter the national park, Thai adults pay 20 Baht, Thai children pay 10 Baht, while foreigners pay 200 Baht for adults and 100 Baht for children. There's a long seaside path along the base of a hill known as "Kao Ta Ngai," offering a natural and educational walk. On one part of the cliff, you can see two distinct layers of rock: the red sandstone from the Cambrian period and the limestone from the Ordovician period, with an age difference of over 400 years. These layers formed due to clear geological processes, and witnessing them is like taking a step back in time. The path is elevated along the coastline, adjacent to the cliff. The first point you'll encounter is a rest area and a park's restaurant where you can grab a meal. The best time to visit is around 4:30 in the evening when you can witness the beautiful sunset. However, during our visit, the weather turned cloudy and rainy, slightly disappointing our hopes. Nevertheless, we managed to explore the area a bit and experience the transition to the Ordovician period. The rock face in this era is black limestone, adorned with green trees. There's a viewing pavilion on top, and around 6:30, we returned to our lodging to enjoy dinner. The accommodation also provided a restaurant service where we ordered organic fried fish and tamarind sautéed prawns. The flavors were delightful.

3. Prasat Hin Phan Yod
Don't miss out on Prasat Hin Phan Yo, another highlight in the Pak Bara Beach area. Prasat Hin Phan Yo is situated on a large island within the territory of the Hat Pak Bara National Park. It's a destination that should be on your list when exploring Satun. The site presents a picturesque view of the emerald sea and the sandy beaches surrounded by high black limestone walls that resemble the peaks of a castle, hence the name "Prasat Hin Phan Yod." It's not too far from the coast, making it suitable for a one-day trip. To reach Prasat Hin Phan Yod, one needs to travel around 3 kilometers from Pak Bara Pier. For those interested, you can arrange a tour package with us, the package costs 800 Baht per person and includes a visit to Prasat Hin Phan Yo as the main destination, along with other attractions such as the Dragon's Back Ridge, Ao Fossil, Ao Tabak Bat, Heart Rock Bay, and Ao Taloh Min Tae. The boat used for this journey is a long-tail boat. It takes you through the calm sea while passing various uniquely shaped rocks, including "Tarn Hin Tai" and "Hin Ruea Sam Phao." The guides onboard provide explanations about the legends and stories associated with these rocks.

The next point on the trip is the "Secluded Sea Behind the Dragon's Back Ridge," where you can observe a white sandy beach in the middle of the sea during high tide. The weather was quite overcast, with occasional drizzles, and the beauty might not have been as vivid. Passing through the Dragon's Back Ridge, we reached the main destination, Prasat Hin Phan Yo. We had to anchor the boat outside and transfer to a smaller boat to get closer, as the entrance is narrow and inaccessible to the long-tail boat. A guide paddled us in. The experience was short, but we managed to enter the site. The distance was brief, and upon passing through the entrance, we witnessed the stunning Prasat Hin Phan Yo. Its striking presence was awe-inspiring. Initially, we were concerned about the less-than-clear weather, which we thought would hinder our view. However, the cloudy and rainy weather only added to the charm. The view of the black stone castle against the backdrop of the green sea and the white sandy beach was mesmerizing. These were the highlights of our trip to Satun, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Whether you're waiting to board a boat to Lipe or returning to the pier, you can visit this stall. The menu emphasizes Halal food, including plain Khao Yam, Khao Yam with curry, Mataba, and more. The flavors are excellent, with the only drawback being the Mataba dipping sauce, which could use a bit more sweetness. One must-try dish is the special Sticky Rice with Salted Fish. Though it looks simple, the taste is extraordinary. The sticky rice is cooked with coconut milk, resembling 'khao neow moon,' and the fish is the local sun-dried mackerel. It's deep-fried to a crispy texture, creating a delicious combination. You'll love it so much that you'll want to buy some fish to take home.
