Yala, Administrative province in southern Thailand.

Yala Province spans across 4,521 square kilometers of land, with forests covering one-third of its territory and mountains reaching heights of 1,533 meters.

The territory of Yala belonged to the Sultanate of Patani until 1785, when it was incorporated under the control of the Kingdom of Siam.

The province maintains a strong Muslim presence with Malay-speaking communities in rural areas, influencing local traditions, cuisine, and daily practices.

The province contains eight administrative districts connected by rail services through Yala Railway Station and air transport via the new Betong Airport.

The provincial seal displays a miner figure, reflecting the region's past involvement in tin and tungsten extraction from the mineral-rich mountainous terrain.
