Pattani
Pattini is one of Thailand's most southerly provinces, with the town itself located on the Gulf of Thailand some 1050 km (652 mi.) from Bangkok. Most of its inhabitants are Moslem Malays, the majority of whom are trying to break away from Thailand, to which country they feel no cultural affinity. Following a close examination of the problems of the area's predominantly agricultural population by the government in Bangkok, ties to Thailand have strengthened. Pattini's hinterland comprises mountainous jungle and a coastal landscape rich in variety and full of charm.
