Pattani lies 1,056 km south of Bangkok,[1] and is located at the mouth of the Pattani River. The historic centre of Patani was originally located a few miles away near the Krue Se Mosque, but developed at the present location after the older Patani was captured and sacked in 1785.
The local dialect of Malay is called Pattani Malay or Yawi in Thai (derived from Jawi).
