Patani in The Bangkok Period
Pattani was easily defeated by Siam and resumed its tributary status. However, a series of attempted rebellions prompted Bangkok to divide Pattani into seven smaller Puppet kingdoms during the reign of King Rama II. Britain recognized the Thai ownership of Pattani by treaty in 1909. Yala and Narathiwat remain separate provinces to this day.

Famous quotes containing the word period:
“In a period of a people’s life that bears the designation “transitional,” the task of a thinking individual, of a sincere citizen of his country, is to go forward, despite the dirt and difficulty of the path, to go forward without losing from view even for a moment those fundamental ideals on which the entire existence of the society to which he belongs is built.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
