Mueang Pattani (Thai: เมืองปัตตานี) is the capital district (Amphoe Mueang) of Pattani Province, southern Thailand.
[edit] History
This area was the center of the Pattani Kingdom. In the reign of King Rama II, the king ordered to divide the kingdom to 7 cities (Mueang), Pattani, Yaha, Yaring, Nong Chik, Ra-ngae, Raman and Sai Buri. It was officially settled to be a district in 1901. Pattani was the central district of Monthon Pattani when King Rama V created the monthon in 1906.
