ABOUT CITY

Yala City Municipality has a total area of 19.4 square kilometers and is an old city area with a population of 61,817 people (average population from 2009-2018). The municipality is focused on improving the landscape and preserving its identity, with a particular emphasis on the community way of life, to create selling points in the area. In the past, the city of Yala has been relocated 4 times.

In the reign of Phra Rattakit Wijarn (Sawat Na Nakhon), the 10th governor of Yala Province (1913-1915), he planned the city by finding the center of the city, settling down, and placing stones as a mark called “kilo zero,” and drawing circles in layers supported by a road in the form of the most beautiful spider web in Thailand. Yala City has won the Clean Contest three years in a row (1985-1987) and in 1997 was selected by the World Health Organization as one of the five cities in Thailand in the Global Liveable Cities Project.
