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. It has outstanding cultural places such as Krue Se Mosque, Lim Kor Niao Shrine, and beautiful natural features including forests, rives, and seas.

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