    1) The river IS the border.
    2) Few decades ago, both nationality can use the river. But now for better border control Malaysia forbid use of boats on the river. The river is not exclusively Thailand.
    3) People of southern Thai are actually Malay people, it was Malay sultanates, up north to the Phuket and Ko Samui region. In early 19th century, Thai conquer the sultanates in fierce battles. In late 19th century Thai force use of Thai language and brutally punish opposition's.
    4) Malay language and Islam is not strange in Thailand. I can go to Phuket and survive knowing only Malay. Almoat all staffs of 7-Eleven can still speak some Malay. Even some of the airport officials (immigrations and custom) communicated with me in Malay.

      Let me correct that.
      Southern Thailand is ethnically Malay, and the Malays of that region are indigenous [ native ].
      Old Malay kingdoms such Pattani and Langkasuka had existed for centuries in that region before they were invaded and became part of Siam.
      The Malays of southern Thailand therefore consider themselves, and rightly so, as an occupied people and their homeland as being occupied by the Thais.
      So they are NOT separatists.
      They are independence fighters.

    The southeastern part of Thailand used to be the Malay Muslim state of Pattani. During the Anglo-Thai Bangkok Treaty the states of Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan & Trengganu were given by Thailand to the British. Only Pattani remained. The Malays of Pattani waged an independence war against Thailand. But since the 1950s the war had become a guerilla war by a small group of separatists.

    Modern Southern Thailand has only been Thai territory since 1909. The British and the Siamese Kingdom split the Malay states where the British kept Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu while the Thai's took Pattani, Yala, Satun, Narathiwat and Songkhla. Ever since that there has been a latent insurgency fighting for union with Malaysia in Southern Thailand.
    It is common for bombings and attacking Thai security forces there. Malaysia tacitly accepts the current border, but there are political movements in Malaysia to bring back the Malay lands back home.

    Many years ago together with my friends, I took a sampan across the river without our Malaysian passport or border pass. Once across, we took a few minute motorbike ride to a small town nearby for a fee. After, exploring we came back across the river, the same way we went. Then, the town of Rantau Panjang had rows and rows of shops selling Thai handicrafts and souvenirs. Basically, Rantau Panjang was a destination to shop for inexpensive handicrafts and goods.

    For your info bro, the villages near the border are mainly Muslim population & they speak Malay rather than Thai. You can find mosques within 2km of each other although Thailand is predominantly Buddhist. And also the fact that you're in the Yala, Pattani province it's mainly Muslim population.

    Barbican is said to be a style of carbonated malt drink from Middle East. A lot of fruity flavour to choose from.
    Since Rantau Panjang is close to Thailand, the weather is hotter than other places in Malaysia. You should try lokcing and Rantau Panjang Ice Cream during the hot sunny day. And also Pulut ayam (sticky rice with fried chicken).

    4:28 the border is actually right in the middle of the river..the Thai side built the wall as part for flood mitigation project as the East Coast is prone to flooding during the monsoon season

    Actually if you look back to the history, Southern Thailand is apart of Malay land. That's why if you go to some of the South Thai district, such as Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala, you will find that there are more similar culture between Malaysia East Coast such as Kelantan and Terengganu people with the South Thai people. The food also not much different. You can watch Mark Wiens channel for food hunting at South Thai region.

    Hi Ken! I'm Din here, saw you waiting for the bus to get back to KB yesterday. I can say you only explored 5% of Rantau Panjang, sorry. But here we're famous with a variety of street foods with mixed Thai-Malay touch, as well as like the jersey's seller said; the copy stuffs eg. jerseys, bags, jeans, toys, utensils & etc. You just need to walk a little bit at the junction of signage "This is Rantau Panjang" then you will see an ocean of stall/small shop sellers. If you had spare time not knowing where to go, please come again. I will show you around, from a local perspective. Enjoy being part of Kelantanese culture for the time being!

    The concrete wall at the Thailand side is the controversial flood barrier build by the Thailand Govt... During Monsoon season at the end of the year, the River will be rise drastically causing flood due to very heavy rains. So, both Malaysia - Thailand site will be flooded mostly every year.
    But, by the time the concrete wall construction done, Malaysia side will take in all the flood alone and the Thailand side will stay dry.

    I know this video is 2 years old, but just want to share that Rantau Panjang town IS NOT divided into Half and Half. Rantau Panjang is in Malaysia, the other side of the river (Sungai Golok) is Golok, Thailand, they are separate towns. Many M'sians go over to Golok for a "good time". Cheap booze, Thai massage, great Thai food and of course prostitution. It's a great place to spend a night or 2. There is, however, 1 such town in between Thailand and Malaysia which are like half and half, that's in Kedah state, in a town called Padang Besar, with a border crossing to Thailand, where the town is called Padangbeza... Yes, I've been to that river crossing part, though the last time I stood there, there were no razor wire. Locals from both Kelantan and Golok used to by pass respective immigrations and just hop on a long tail boat on one side and cross over the other. On both sides of the river crossing, border police stand guard and literally NOT close an eye, but BOTH EYES to that. I see in this video that the river jetty part (behind the shoplots) have razor wire now (that said, your video was 2 years ago)

    Ah yes, I remember the locals around that river telling me once that they used to just swim across that river whenever they wanted to go into Thailand without going through immigration. At some points along the river, you could just walk across the river to reach the other country. For some, the river is actually a divider between family members as the river separated two Malay regions, one under Malaysia, the other under Thailand.
