Until 1813 [[Satun]] was a district of the Malay state of [[Kedah]], then known as Setul in Malay. After that it was administered by a governor sent from [[Nakhon Si Thammarat]]. In 1897, [[Satun]] became part of the [[Monthon Triburi]] ([[Kedah]]), which in 1909 was divided between [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[Siam]]ese spheres of influence as part of [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909]]. It was then included into the [[Monthon Phuket]]. In 1933 the monthon was dissolved and the province became a first-level subdivision of Thailand. |
