In Southern Thailand, the Public Relations Department of Thailand (PRD) has a Pattani accent Malay language radio station for deep south provinces such as Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani, this radio station is known as Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz.
Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz is very popular in Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani, even it is also popular in Kelantan, Malaysia. This radio station is receivable in most of Kelantan districts such as Kota Bharu, Tumpat, Pasir Mas, Bachok, Pasir Puteh, Machang, Kuala Krai and Jeli, however it can be tuned in Terengganu state too.
In Terengganu, Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz Pattani Malay language broadcast is available in two locations, mainly Kuala Besut and Kampung Raja, meanwhile there is no signal to tune Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz in Jerteh.
Despite its sister channel Radio Thailand Yala FM 92.0MHz is receivable in Jerteh, Terengganu, but FM 95.0MHz cannot be tuned because the transmitter power of FM 95MHz is only 1kW from Khao Pok Yo, and its effective radiated power (ERP) is only 4kW, meanwhile FM 92.0MHz is at 10kW transmitter power and ERP of FM 92MHz is at 40kW.
When I was in Besut district on 28th August 2023, for Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz, I only filmed the signal video in Kuala Besut because I skipped FM DXing in Kampung Raja as it is very near to Kuala Besut with only 6km distance, somewhat Thailand radio signal condition in Kampung Raja is same as Kuala Besut.
The signal of Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz is moderately clear in Kuala Besut, Terengganu, Malaysia. Transmitted from Khao Pok Yo tower at standard 1kW transmitter output power, the distance to Kuala Besut town is 141 kilometers.
With the video above, Kuala Besut and Kampung Raja are the only coverage of Radio Thailand Yala FM 95.0MHz in Terengganu state, Malaysia. As Besut district of Terengganu has many Kelantanese Malay people, they can tune to this radio station too. Pattani Malay is almost same as Kelantanese Malay.
