They're former Malay-Siam cities of Langkasuka which preceded by the fall of Sriwijaya/Sriwichai. Siam =/= Dai/Tai (invaders from China).
Siam are just Malay Buddhist and Malays are just apostate Buddhist (when they become Muslim) but in modern times some prefer to call themselves Thai, as the definition of Malays has become firm that Malays must be Muslim. The complex chronicles of the Ligor causes some royal family separated into two sides; one that decided to be Muslim and the other one that stays as Buddhist, so when the Buddhist partition serve the Ayutthaya King in Krung Thep, they declare that it's part of Thai. On the other side, they said it's part of the Malay side of Sultanate Kedah/Patani. Skirmishes here and there where family just separated even further because your greatest enemy are the one that used to sleep in your bed, it become what it is now. Nationalist from both sides will always argue about the land extend claims but in the end, the banished feudal monarchs descendants will always have their true story. Fun fact: They're all mutts. :DD
