Mueang Pattani (Thai: เมืองปัตตานี, pronounced [mɯ̄a̯ŋ pàt.tāː.nīː]) is the capital district (amphoe mueang) of Pattani province, southern Thailand.
This area was the center of the Pattani Kingdom. In the reign of King Rama II, the king ordered the kingdom divided into seven cities (mueang): Pattani, Yaha, Yaring, Nong Chik, Ra-ngae, Raman, and Sai Buri. It was made a district in 1901. Pattani was the central district of Monthon Pattani when King Rama V created the monthon in 1906.
In 1917 the district was renamed Sabarang, the name of the central sub-district.[1] In 1938 the name was changed back to Mueang Pattani.[2]
Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise): Yaring, Yarang, and Nong Chik. To the north is the Gulf of Thailand.
The important water resource is the Tani River.
Mueang Pattani is divided into 13 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 66 administrative villages (mubans).
