Pattani is a town (thesaban mueang) in the far south of Thailand, near the border with Malaysia. It is the capital of Pattani Province. The city has a population of 43,631
(2005). It covers the whole tambon Sabarang, Anoru and Chabang Tiko of Mueang Pattani district.
Some say the word Pattani is derived from "Petani" in Malay which means "farmer". Alternatively the name Pattani is the Thai adaptation of the Malay name Patani (Jawi: ڤتنا), 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.
