Pattani Kingdom

As often travel to south of Thai, learn something new today.
Often ask Thai friend did you visit Betong or Yala it's beautiful. Most will tell you "booming" scare...

Here is a probably better explanation what happen century back.

Before 1909 years, Pattani is a Muslim country. Satun, Songkhla, Narathiwat and Yala belong to the Pattanese!

[Patani in the Bangkok Period]
Bunga mas, the tribute sent every three years to the Siamese ruler in Bangkok as symbol of friendship by the ruler of Patani. The sending of the Bunga mas began in the 14th century.

Pattani was easily defeated by Siam in 1785 and resumed its tributary status. However, a series of attempted rebellions prompted Bangkok to divide Pattani into seven smaller Puppet kingdoms in the early 1800s during the reign of King Rama II. Britain recognised the Thai ownership of Pattani by treaty in 1909. Yala and Narathiwat remain separate provinces to this day.

RIP ST1100






Today is a sad day and painful decision from owner.
The ST1100 had save 2 life but suffer from broken  headlight, front fender, fork,
meter, steering stem, side cover, wind screen… etc  it’s beyond repair.

At age 20 the ST1100 go through the toughest route from Singapore to SU-NGAI GOLOCK.
Went through the most  beautiful south touring Dannok-HatYai-Yala-Betong.
It could done more route but it choose to sacrifice itself to protect innocent life.
Once voted the best world touring bike in the world, it's an honor to ride beside a ST1100.
