Ku
Den Museum
Ku Den Museum is situated
on Satun Thani Road, opposite the Satun Land Department Office. The two-story
building received the influence of western styled architecture; particularly the
windows and doors which are of Roman motifs. The roofs were designed in the Thai
's Panya style. The windows were assembled with narrow strips of boards arranged
horizontally. The semi - circular clay tiles were used to cover the roofs. The
ventilation at the upper-front of the building is decorated with star-shaped designs,
imminently influenced by Muslim architecture. Phraya Phuminatphakdi, the former
governor of Satun, built it in 1902 as his residence. The building was used as
a city hall, though nowadays it serves as a museum housing antiques and artifacts
and exhibiting the local art and culture. |

Satun
Central Mosque
 Satun
Central Mosque (Majid Mambang) is located on Buri Wanit Road and Satun
Thani Road in the center of Satun. The mosque was built in modern Islamic architecture
style and decorated with marble and colorful glasses. The building is divided
into two parts: outside is a corridor that leads to a dome tower where there are
picturesque views of Satun and inside is a prayer hall. The library is located
in the basement. Previously, Masjid Bambang was a one storey building. Its unique
three-tier roofs were arranged in a pyramid shape with the smallest one on the
top and the largest at the bottom to cover the whole building. The floors were
covered with brown tiles. The interior measured 13 meters both in length and width
and the building was supported by four wooden poles. The original Masjid had deteriorated
because of its wooden structures and because it was too small to accommodate worshippers
performing prayers. It was then uprooted and rebuilt in the same plot of land.
The new building was completed in May 1979. |
