History & geography

History

Yala used to be part of the Pattani kingdom. When Ayutthaya was captured by the Burmese in 1767, Yala, along with other southern colonies, became independent. Yala was again included as part of Thailand about 41 years later. In September 1977, King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand narrowly avoided assassination by the BRN after a bomb exploded nearby during a visit. On 9 October, policemen from the 12th Provincial Police Headquarters and the Yala Provincial Police Headquarters arrested Abdun Romae Haron, Mae Prachu, and Choning Saing on charges of conspiring with the escaped convicts Hayi Masae, Choya Samae, and Abdun Romae in attempting to kill the monarchs.
