Mueang Satun (Thai: เมืองสตูล) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Satun Province, southern Thailand.

History

Due to many problems in Syburi (Kedah) state, King Rama III ordered the division of Syburi into 4 separate mueang - Kubang Pasu, Syburi, Perlis and Satun in 1833. He set Mueang Satun under Nakhon Si Thammarat.

In 1897 King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) reunified the 4 cities under the newly established Monthon Syburi. When the United Kingdom and Siam (Thailand) signed the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, only Satun remained with Siam, which was then moved to be under Monthon Phuket in 1910.

Originally Satun province was subdivided into 2 districts and one minor district. Mambang (มำบัง) was one of these two original districts, which was renamed to Mueang Satun in 1938, when all capital districts were named according to the corresponding province name..[1]

Geography

Neighboring districts are (from the northwest clockwise) Tha Phae, Khuan Don of Satun Province, the state Perlis of Malaysia and the Andaman Sea.

The Tarutao National Marine Park containing the Tarutao and Adang archipelagos belong to the district. Also some part of the boundary area to Malaysia is protected in the Thale Ban National Park.

Administration

The district is subdivided into 12 subdistricts (tambon), which are further subdivided into 67 villages (muban). The town (thesaban mueang) Satun covers the complete tambon Phiman. There are further three townships (thesaban tambon) - Chalung and Che Bi Lang, both covering parts of the same-named tambon, and Khlong Khut the whole tambon Khlong Khut. There are also 10 Tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
