19 JUNE 2015 - PATTANI, PATTANI, THAILAND: A man prays next to a grave of his father in the Muslim cemetery in Pattani. Perkuboran To'Ayah is the Muslim cemetery in Pattani. It is more than 150 years old. The last Sultan of Pattani, who ruled until Siam (Thailand) annexed Pattani is buried in the cemetery. Many victims of political and sectarian violence that has wracked Thailand's three Muslim majority provinces, Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala are also buried in the cemetery. On Fridays, after morning prayers, Muslim men come to the cemetery to tend to the graves of their family members. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
