PATTANI, (Thailand): (Bernama) The annual Chao Mae Lim Ko Niao Festival continues to unite Pattani, a predominantly Muslim-majority province in southern Thailand, fostering multicultural harmony and strengthening its multiracial identity.
The festival is a tribute to Lim Ko Niao, venerated as a goddess by the ethnic Chinese communities in southern Thailand for her devotion to filial piety and her patriotic loyalty to China.
