Mayo 6. Thung Yang Daeng 7. Sai Buri 2 8. Mai Kaen 9. Yaring 10. Yarang 11. Kapho 12. Mae Lan Geography Pattani is on the Malay Peninsula, with the coast of the Gulf of Thailand to the north. The south is dominated by the Sankalakhiri mountain range, which includes Budo-Su-ngai Padi National Park, on the border with Yala and Narathiwat. History The name Pattani is the Thai adaptation of the Malay name Patani, which can mean "this beach" in Patani Malay language. (In standard Malay, this would be pantai ini.) Another suggestion is that it derives from a Sanskrit word pathini, meaning "virgin nymph"; Pathini was the name of a daughter of Merong Mahawangsa, founder of the preceding Langkasuka Empire. Historically, Pattani Province was the centre of the Malay Sultanate of Patani Darul Makrif. For centuries a tributary state of Siam, Patani has been governed by Siam since its conquest in 1785. Siamese rule was officially acknowledged by the Burney Treaty of 1826 negotiated with the British Empire which included also Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Terengganu. Unlike these four sultanates, Patani was not included in the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 and remained under Siamese rule.

  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization
    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.

  • THAILAND Buddhist Minority Declines in the ‘Deep South’ Due to Protracted Armed Conflict
    15 November 2011 THAILAND Buddhist minority declines in the ‘deep south’ due to protracted armed conflict Since 2004, there has been a resurgence of violence in Thailand’s southern provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat, where the government is facing the violent opposition of a number of Malay Muslim insurgency groups. Close to 5,000 people have been killed and nearly 8,000 injured. Buddhists, esti- mated to represent around 20 per cent of the total population of the three provinces in 2000, have been disproportionately affected by the violence; they account for nearly 40 per cent of all deaths and more than 60 per cent of all injured. Civilians from both communities are the main victims of the violence. As a result, many have since 2004 fled their homes and moved to safer areas. There are no reliable figures on the number of people displaced since 2004, but available information suggests that at least 30 per cent of Buddhists and ten per cent of Malay Muslims may have left their homes. While some have fled in direct response to the violence, many have moved because of the adverse effects of the conflict on the economy, on the availability and quality of education or on the provision of social services. Many of the displacements are also intended to be only temporary, and have split families, the head of household staying and the wife and children moving to safer areas. Buddhist civilians targeted by the insurgents because of their real or perceived association with the Thai state have fled their homes in large numbers, either seeking refuge in nearby urban areas or leaving the three provinces altogether.

The data were obtained from the records of fishermen, stranded dugongs, and specimens preserved in the museums, temples or institutions. Two hundred and eighty two records of stranded dugong were recovered from 1962 through February 2008. Of these 71.6% of the records were from the Andaman Sea, 25.8% of the records from the Gulf and 2.6% of the records had no information of the stranding place. Some 22.7% of the records were male, 22.3% female and 55.0 % of unidentified sex. The highest record of stranded dugong per year was in 1996 and the place where most stranding was found was in Trang province.

Although it does not catch the world’s attention as much as other conflict cases in the same region, daily violent incidents are ongoing for more than a decade. The violence in the south has multiple causes including historical concerns, economic marginalisation, political and social issues, religious and cultural differences, educational opportunity inequities, and judicial discrimination.

  • NOTES and NEW DISTRIBUTIONAL INFORMATION on BIRDS in WESTERN PENINSULAR THAILAND Philip D
    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM SOC. 30 (1); 15-24, 1982. NOTES AND NEW DISTRIBUTIONAL INFORMATION ON BIRDS IN WESTERN PENINSULAR THAILAND Philip D. Round,* Robert J. Do bias,* Kamo/ Komolpha/in* and Surapon Duangkhae** ABSTRACT During visits made to five provinces in peninsular Thailand, 13-31 January 1979 and 8-20 August 1.981, a total of 100 new provincial bird distribution records was gained. This included some significant northward extensions to the known ranges of resident Malaysian lowland forest species. Some identification features of less well known species are described. INTRODUCTION Most present distributional knowledge of the birds of the Malay Peninsula (which includes Thailand north to the Isthmus of Kra, approx. 10' N) is summarised in MEDWAY & WELLS (1976). Important recent contributions may also be found in DICKlNSON (1966), HOLMES & WELLS (1975), BOSWALL (1978) and SUMMERS-SMITH (1981). The Malaysian lowland forest bird fauna becomes increasingly attenuated with northward progression along the peninsula. However, as many of the Thai provinces, in particular those closer to Kra, have received only sparse coverage, the true northern distributional limits of many species which are common further south have yet to be determined. This paper mainly reports observations made in wildlife sanctuaries of the Royal Forest Department which are situated in perhaps the largest remaining area of lowland, semi-evergreen forest in Thailand. This extends throughout the adjacent hilly parts of the provinces of Ranong, Surat Thani and Phang-nga and was estimated by BnocKELMAN (1975) from satellite photographs as covering perhaps 5000 sq. km. Additional observations were also made in Phuket, Krabi and Trang Provinces.

  • Silat: a Muslim Traditional Martial Art in Southern Thailand 125
    Silat: A Muslim Traditional Martial Art in Southern Thailand 125 Chapter 3 Silat: A Muslim Traditional Martial Art in Southern Thailand Bussakorn Binson Introduction In Thai nomenclature, silat has various written forms, e.g. zila, sila, shila, zilat, sila, shilat, and zzila. It can also be called dika, buedika, buezila, buerasila, padik, and bueradika. In this chapter, “silat” will be used in accordance with the Encyclopaedia of Cultures in Southern Thailand (Ruengnarong 1999:8029) to depict an art form that is a blend of martial arts, folk performing arts, sport, and an element of the ritual occult all belonging to the Muslim social group of the Malay Peninsula. The most prominent martial art among Thai-Muslim communities in Southern Thailand is known as pencak silat. According to the Pattani Malay dialect - Thai Dictionary, “silat” is derived from “bersila” or “ssila” which means a form of traditional Malaysian martial art. Some linguists postulate that “silat” is derived from the Sanskrit word “shila” which means a fight to support honesty. Silat spread northward from the Malay Peninsula into Southeast Asia sev- eral hundred years ago. Its origin, however, is still ambiguous among Thais due to the absence of written evidence. A few legends have been maintained over the generations by lineages of silat masters in Southern Thailand. Whilst the history of silat is neither clear nor concise, most scholars acknowledge the art form is the result of the blending of a mixture of religious influences from Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism and cultural influences from Indonesia, India, and China. In this chapter the author will describe the characteristics of silat in Southern Thailand by describing its knowledge transfer and the related rites and beliefs in both practice and performance.
