Abstract
Southern Thailand has a Muslim population with a 200 year history of separatism and evolving relations with the central government. This paper refers to Southern Thailand as the five provinces of Songkhala, Satun, Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat which borders Malaysia. Approximately 80% of the Malay-Muslim or “Thai-Muslim” minority live in the southern provinces. Nationwide, there are nearly 4 million Muslims of the 62 million Thai pop- ulation. (Please note that the term “Malay-Muslim” and “Thai-Muslim” will be used interchangeably throughout the paper. Thai-Muslim is the term used officially by the Thai government to lessen ethnic differentiation.)
