Thai maps can be inaccurate. Just ask the Cambodians.

Seriously, the "definition" of the south is mostly in the mind of whom one asks. Not at all unusual to have a Thai say Petchaburi is in the south.

is it in southern thailand?

Just about, but it's no where near the dodgy bits. Still lots of nice Muslin folk to chat with though.

cool, should be lots of pics to be taken too

I have lived and worked for 2 years in Sichon in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, and I have never experienced any problems.
I visit Nakhon Si Thammarat once every week, and I visit Trang and Satun once every 3 months and stay there for a few days. Never any problems.
Also in Surat Thani there is no problems....Koh Samui is located in Surat Thani province, and I have never heard about any problems there Unless you're thinking of overcreowded beaches and traffic jams and pollution in Koh Samui??

BTW I can tell you that the beaches in Sichon and the area are officially rated 4.5 Stars compared to say Phuket and Koh Samui only rated 4 Stars!
I love it here, and I wouldn't relocate even if I was given 10 million US$
