dc.description.abstractPlaces are social constructs. They become individuated and significant when imbued with meaning through people’s lived experience, usage, and imagery. This paper discusses the construction of Patanian places in Thailand’s Deep South, a region consisting of the provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat, and Yala, where the Malays constitute the ethnic majority. Using the Krisek Mosque, the Tomb of Sultan Ismail Shah, and the former home of Haji Sulong as examples, the paper shows how Patanian Malay narratives about these places illustrate their sorrow about the demise of the historical Malay kingdom of Patani and their community’s strained political relationship with the Thai state and nation. Viewed collectively, these places constitute a landscape of grief for the Patanian Malays.
