Narathiwat
Narathiwat lies 1148 km (713 mi.) from Bangkok, but only 67 km (42 mi.) from the Malaysian border. This fact accounts for the problems which characterize life in this town. Traces of the Malaysian way of life are evident everywhere, and a large number of the population speak the language of their neighboring country. Alongside Buddhist temples muezzins call people to prayers, markets sell both pork and lamb. The population of the town have come to an arrangement, even if there are conflicts every now and then, with those who claim a connection with Malaysia.
