Thailand has recently repeatedly accused certain fundamentalist groups in northern Malaysia of supporting separatist movements in the south, and historically that was often the case during the height of Thailand's southern insurgency in the 1970s and 1980s.

Bangkok is both the province with the highest population and the highest population density.
The provinces were administrated either by a governor, which was appointed by the king; or by a local ruling family, who were descendants of the old local kings and princes of that area and had been given this privilege by the central king.
New provinces were created when the population of an area outgrew the administration, but also for political reasons if a governor became too dominant in a region former satellite cities were elevated to provincial status, as in the founding of the Maha Sarakham Province.

The Kingdom of Thailand is a country in southeast Asia, bordering Laos and Cambodia to the east, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to the south, and the Andaman Sea and Myanmar to the west.
Thailand's origin is traditionally tied to the short-lived kingdom of Sukhothai founded in 1238, after which the larger kingdom of Ayutthaya was established in the mid-14th century.
Provinces are further subdivided into 795 districts (Amphoe), 81 sub-districts (King Amphoe) and 50 districts of Bangkok (khet) (number are for 2000), and furthermore into 7,236 communes (Tambon), 55,746 villages (Muban), 123 municipalities (Tesaban), and 729 sanitation districts (Sukhaphiban) (numbers are for 1984).

 population density
Note that population density, according to this definition, depends on the scale of the sampling area used, and is hard to define as a real-valued continuous function over the area in question.
The most densely populated large state is Bangladesh, where 134 million people live in a highly agricultural area around the lower Ganges river, with a national population density in excess of 900 persons per km².
City population is, however, heavily dependent on the definition used for the urban area: densities will be far higher for the central municipality than when more recently-developed and as yet administratively unincorporated suburbs are included, as in the concepts of agglomeration or metropolitan area, the latter including sometimes neighbouring cities.

What made the position of the Thai government more embarrassing were the warnings given by the Western diplomatic missions in Bangkok to their nationals about being cautious and vigilant and even to avoid travelling to the south for the fear of a recurrence of the devastation that happened in Bali.
