Pattani is an east-coast
province in the south, adjacent to the Gulf
of Thailand, with the area of approximately
1,940 square kilometres. There are two major
rivers: Tani and Sai Buri. Being a civilized
town in the past, the present Pattani still
maintains some ruined ancient town in Amphoe
Yarang. Due to its mountainous area and
long seashore of about 170 kilometres, Pattani
has been an important port and the centre
of the administration, trading, and culture.
There are several tourism resources of nature,
historical ancient places, and traditional
culture which have been the integration
of Thai, Chinese and Islam.
Pattani is administratively divided
into 12 Amphoe: Muang Pattani, Yarang, Nong
Chik, Khok Pho, Yaring, Panare, Mayo, Sai Buri,
Kapho, Mai Kaen, Thung Yang Daeng, and Mae Lan.
