Background
The Kingdom of Siam was controlled by the monarch. Siam's ability to maintain its independence from British and French colonizers is often been credited to the ruling family, the Chakkri dynasty. Although there were many previous monarchs of the Chakkri dynasty, those most responsible for maintaining Siam's independence begins with Rama I (r.1782-1809). Unlike previous rulers, Rama I was a technocratic ruler who consulted with social elites on political matters and Sangha (Buddhist monks) on religious matters. His consultations with the Siamese elites became de rigueur for his successors.[4]:94 Rama I was succeeded by Rama II (r.1809-1824). Rama II's greatest accomplishment was the establishment of a government of ministers. Near the end of his reign, in 1820, the British came on the scene seeking control of Penang. Rama II was followed by Rama III (r.1824-1851). He granted concessions to the British in exchange for their support. The same would be done later with the French.[4]:95 In 1826, in an effort to establish independence, Rama III and British officials signed the Burney Treaty. The treaty affirmed British assent that Kedah, Perlis, Terengganu, and Pataniwere Thai provinces while Penang and Province Wellesley belonged to the British and that the Siamese would permit British trade in Kelantan and Terengganu.[5] After Rama III's reign, a succession crisis brought Mongkut (r.1851-1868) to power. Under Mongkut's leadership the Bowring Treaty of 1855 was signed. It provided British subjects in Siam with extraterritoriality, meaning that Britons would have British laws applied to them rather than Siamese. Mongkut constantly made concessions to the British and French to maintain independence in Siam until, in 1868, he was succeeded by Chulalongkorn, who ruled from 1868 to 1910. Chulalongkorn was a moderniser, similar to his predecessors. He abolished slavery, centralised revenues, created a national educational system, and safeguarded Siamese independence.

Treaty
The Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, signed under the leadership of Chulalongkorn, consists of eight articles;
Article 1

Subjects of his majesty the king of Siam residing within the territory described in article 1 who desire to preserve their Siamese nationality will, during the period of six months after the ratification of the present treaty, be allowed to do so if they become domiciled in the Siamese dominions. His Britannic majesty's government under take that they shall be at liberty to retain their immovable property within the territory described in article 1.

Aftermath
This section does not cite any sources. (March 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)This agreement has had a long-lasting impact on both Thailand and the Federation of Malaysia. The border between them was largely determined by this treaty. The dissatisfaction generated by the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909 may have, in part, laid the foundations for the South Thailand insurgency in Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat from the 1960s to the present. The agreement effectively divided the northern Malay states into two parts. The area around modern Pattani (Malay: ڤتنا (Patani)), Narathiwat (Malay: منارة (Menara)), southernmost Songkhla (Malay: سيڠڬورا (Singgora)), Satun (Malay: مقيم ستل (Mukim Setul)), and Yala (Malay: جال (Jala)) remained under Thai control, while Thailand relinquished its claims to sovereignty over Kedah (Thai: ไทรบุรี (Saiburi)), Kelantan (Thai: กลันตัน (Kalantan)), Perlis (Thai: ปะลิส (Palit)) and Terengganu (Thai: ตรังกานู (Trangkanu)) which integrated the British sphere of influence as protectorates. These four states, along with Johor, later became known as the Unfederated Malay States. Although the treaty had cultural impacts and was responsible for giving away pieces of land, it was also responsible for maintaining the independence of Siam.

Fight on brothers.
Nobody, no nation, no empire on earth can deny your right to your own land.
The righteous and innocent shall prevail. The evil colonizers shall perish.

If you resort to war don’t wait for the moment when finally you only have charcoal to defend.
Sedih tengok akhlak dan perilaku jenerasi muda patani. Mereka lebih selesa bercakap bahasa thai dan berpakaian macam siam kapir. Ramai yang tidak tahu atau lupa sejarah bangsa mereka sendiri.
jangan mati mati org islam utk sultan!!!! bodoh !!!!!!!
Perhatian semua! bangsa SIAM dan bangsa Thai adalah tidak sama. Mereka berlainan bahasa dan agama. Bangsa Siam beragama Islam sedangkan bangsa Thai beragama buddha. Ini bukti dr waris Raja Maha Besar Siam Islam yg tlh lama diketepikan. Sila baca dakwaan mereka disini http://www.sejarahnagarakedah.blogspot.com
Wahai orang Patani, u all must understand kerajaan Thailand bukannya bodoh. Mereka mempunyai pelbagai strategi untuk menghapuskan dan melemah pemintaan anda untuk kemerdekaan. Justeru itu u all punya peminpin yang melaungkan untuk kemerdekaan perlu licik dan bijak. I think Patani people need involve Britain if u all really want independent from Thailand. Like Plastine people they also need to know Israel gov. also not a stupid. Thailand and Israel have make cooperation then they have strategy to abolish and destroy Muslim demanded. If muslim fight we will lose because we don’t have enough resource for the fight. Eventhough if Allah SWT want help Patani people the success u all will be Success and freedom.
Musuh Islam telah berjaya menanam ketakutan ke dalam hati orang-orang Islam yang lemah keyakinannya terhadap kekuasaan, kekuatan, keperkasaan dan kehabatan Allah. Tiada lagi ruh jihad dalam hati mereka. Mereka berpuas hati sekadar menjadi Pak Turut Barat…boneka Amerika dan Zionis…
Sepertimana orang-orang Arab yang terpukau dengan hagemoni Amerika dan Eropah (sprt:Husni Mubarak, Mahmud Abbas, King Husin Jordan dll)tidak merasa simpati dengan nasib bangsa Pelastin begitulah majoriti Melayu yang sewaktu dengan mereka tidak ambil pusing tentang Patani.
Punca masalah bukannya Melayu, Patani atau Arab tapi umat yang telah meleraikan hubungan diri mereka serta kehidupan mereka dari ikatan Islam…kerana hati mereka telah pitus hubungan dengan Allah sebagai Ilah dan Rabb…
Kita perlu kembali membina kekuatan baru berasaskan aqidah Islam yang sejahtera dan ibadah yang betul berteraskan kefahaman tepat terhadap ajaran Islam….
Wahai Anak Patani, kita wajib kembali kepada Allah SWT. Kuatkan saf kita, luruskan saf, panjatkan doa dan yakin lah dengan janji Allah SWT kerana kerana hidup kita, mati kita adalah kerana Allah semata2.
Jangan kita jadikan orang2 kafir, musyrik, munafik sebagai pengantara di dalam apa-apa perdamaian kerana mereka pasti tidak akan menyebelahi kita kerana kita islam.
Ingatlah wahai Anak Patani, bumi ini adalah syurga bagi yang ingkar kepada Allah SWT tetapi neraka bagi yang membesarkan Allah, bagi yang memelihara agama Allah….dunia fana ini bukan segala-galanya.
Apa matlamat perjuangan kita…kerana jike kita mati berjuang BUKAN kerana Allah, bukan kerana mentauhid Allah, bukan kerana jalan atau hukum Allah…bukan kerana memperjuangkan yang hak…takut mati kita hanya sia-sia, sebagaimana matinya soldadu2 thai ditangan para mujahidin Patani..Allahu Akhbar..Allahu Akhbar..! wassallam…!
