Pattani Information guide
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.
