Satun is full of culture, history, and tradition, and the best way to experience it is through its unique workshops. Over three days, I joined some amazing activities that were fun, creative, and left me with great memories. Here’s what I got up to:
Day 1: Crafting Delicious Traditions
Making Bunga Budah Snack Workshop
The first workshop was all about making Bunga Budah, a pretty, flower-shaped snack. With help from a local expert, I learned to fold the dough into tiny blossoms and fry them until crispy and golden. It was surprisingly easy once I got the hang of it, and they tasted as good as they looked! I even brought some back to share (or maybe just eat myself).
Day 2: Creating Timeless Keepsakes
Leather Craft Workshop
On the second day, I got creative at the Leather Craft Workshop. Using tools I’d never touched before, I cut, stamped, and stitched my own leather piece. It was super satisfying to see it all come together, and now I have a cool keepsake that I made myself. The locals guiding us were so patient and made it really fun.
Day 3: A Sweet Finish
Making Ang Ku Workshop
The last workshop was all about making Ang Ku, colorful and sweet rice cakes. Shaping the dough and stamping the designs took some practice, but it was worth it. These little cakes aren’t just tasty—they’re a big part of Satun’s food traditions. Eating them felt like enjoying a piece of local history.
Why You’ll Love These Workshops
These workshops were more than just fun activities—they were a chance to connect with the locals and learn about Satun’s culture in a hands-on way. The people running them were so friendly and passionate, which made the experience even better. Whether you’re traveling alone, with friends, or family, these workshops are a great way to try something new.
Final Thoughts
Satun’s workshops are a must-do if you want to experience more than just the sights. They’re a fun and interactive way to learn about local traditions and create memories you won’t forget. If you’re visiting Satun, add these to your to-do list—you’ll have a blast!
