Almost 90% of population in Pattani is Muslim.

But there is a mix combination of hala or non hala thai foods stall/restaurants to choose from.

You will be spoilt with choices and for price-wise foods are cheaper compare to Betong and Hatyai.

Lim Ko Niao Shrine

The story has it that Lim Ko Niao was a Chinese girl that came to Siam by ship looking for her brother Lim To Khiam, who married the Pattani governor's daughter and had changed his religion to Islam. However, she was not successful, and so she hung herself on the cashew nut tree. Her brother buried her at this place.
