Pattani

Pattani is a small Province with irresistible charm, rich in historical significance and distinctive customs and traditions as a result of its ethnic diversity and wonderful hospitality; Pattani also has natural scenic beauty that includes rivers, streams, and waterfalls as well as long golden beaches along the Gulf of Thailand.

 

Pattani is both the name of the province in the south of Thailand and the city that is its capital. Pattani contains two major rivers, the Tani and Sai Buri and covers a relatively flat region with a long coastline that runs 170 kilometers along the Gulf of Thailand.

 

Pattani still maintains the ruins of an ancient town in Amphoe Yarang that once served as an important port and center of administration, trade, and culture for many centuries. Attractions in modern-day Pattani include unspoiled nature, numerous historical sites, and a traditional culture, which has benefited from the integration of Thai, Chinese and Islam settlers.
