| 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: Mueang Pattani, Yarang,
Nong Chik, Khok Pho, Yaring, Panare, Mayo, Sai Buri, Kapho, Mai Kaen, Thung Yang
Daeng, and Mae Lan.
