The [[Golok River]] forms the easternmost 95 km stretch of the land border.
The land border is based on the 1909 treaty between Thailand (then known as Siam), and the British which had started to exert its influence over the northern Malay states of [[Kedah]], [[Kelantan]], [[Perlis]] and [[Terengganu]] in the early 20th century, states which were previously under Siamese control. Currently, there are 4 Malaysian states ([[Perlis]], [[Kedah]], [[Perak]], [[Kelantan]]) and four Thai provinces ([[Satun Province|Satun]], [[Songkhla Province|Songkhla]], [[Yala Province|Yala]], [[Narathiwat Province|Narathiwat]]) that form the borders of Malaysia and Thailand.
[[File:Malaysia Thailand border.jpg|thumb|right|Map of the Malaysia-Thailand border]]Malaysia and Thailand have a [[Territorial waters#Territorial sea|territorial sea]] and a [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary agreements for the [[Straits of Malacca]] which were signed in 1979 and 1971 respectively. The 1979 agreement also included [[Indonesia-Malaysia Border|Indonesia]] as a signatory as it also determined the common continental shelf border tripoint for the three countries. The 1979 agreement also established the territorial sea boundary in the [[Gulf of Thailand]] while a separate memorandum of understanding signed in 1979 established a short continental shelf boundary in the area. The boundary beyond that agreed is subject to dispute because of overlapping claims over the seabed. The overlapping claims led to the establishment of a [[Malaysia-Thailand joint development area|joint development area]] in 1990 where both countries agreed to share mineral resources in a 7,250 square km wedge-shaped area.
==Land border==

[[File:Padang Besar, Perlis, Malaysia - panoramio (1).jpg|thumb|250px|right|Malaysian boundary wall near Padang Besar, Malaysia]]
The 658-kilometre Malaysia-Thailand land boundary consists of 552-kilometre section on land running along the [[Drainage divide|watershed]] of several mountain ranges in northern Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand, and 106 kilometres running along the [[thalweg]] of the Golok River (Malay: ''Sungai Golok'').<ref name="Jupem">{{cite web |url=https://www.jupem.gov.my/jupem18a/assets/uploads/files/laporan_tahunan/2b5fa-laporan-tahunan-2018.pdf|title=Laporan Tahunan Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan 2018 (Department of Survey and Mapping Annual Report 2018) |publisher=Department of Survey and Mapping, Malaysia|language=ms|access-date=28 February 2020}}</ref>
From west to east, the border begins at a point which lies just north of the [[Perlis River]] estuary as defined in the schedule of the [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909]] where the westernmost land boundary terminus was to be at "the most seaward point of the northern bank of the estuary of the Perlis River".
The treaty then states that the border moves northward from this point to the Sayun Range, an extension of the Si Thammarat Mountains of Thailand, for about 15 miles (24 km) before heading eastward along the watershed of Thailand's Lam Yai River and Malaysia's Perlis River towards the ridge of the Kedah-Singgora mountains where it moves southwards along the ridgeline until it reaches the watershed for the Perak and Pattani Rivers. Mountain peaks along this section of the border including Lata Papalang.
The border then moves eastward across the northern part of Peninsula Malaysia's Main Range (Malay: ''Banjaran Titiwangsa'') along the watershed of Malaysia's Perak River and Pergau River (in [[Kelantan]]) on one hand, and Thailand's Pattani and Sai Buri Rivers on the other until it reaches Jeli Hill (Malay: ''Bukit Jeli''). Among the mountain peaks located along this section of the border are Kobeh Hill (Malay: Bukit Kobeh), which is the southernmost point of Thailand, and [[Ulu Titi Basah]].
At Bukit Jeli, an 8.5 km stretch of the border remains disputed by both countries (see [[#Disputes|below]]).<ref>{{cite news|title=Deputy minister: Mapping of M'sia-Thailand border completed except an area at Bukit Jeli|url=https://www.theborneopost.com/2015/11/13/deputy-minister-mapping-of-msia-thailand-border-completed-except-an-area-at-bukit-jeli/|access-date=2020-02-27|newspaper=The Borneo Post|date=2015-11-13|language=en}}</ref>
From Bukit Jeli, the boundary follows the Golok River until the river mouth at Kuala Tabar, a distance of 95 km. The border follows the deepest part or [[thalweg]] of the river.<ref>{{Citation | title = Malaysia-Thailand Boundary | journal = International Boundary Study | volume = 57 | date = 15 November 1965 | url = http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/limitsinseas/ibs057.pdf }}</ref>
===Survey and demarcation===
Work to survey and demarcate the watershed boundary began on 6 July 1973 and was completed except for the 8.5 kilometre disputed section at Jeli Hill on 26 September 1985. As for the Golok River section, work to survey the boundary began on 1 November 2000 and was completed on 30 September 2009.<ref name="Jupem"/>
===Barrier===
In the 1970s, both Malaysia and Thailand constructed walls along their common border, mostly in [[Perlis]]/[[Satun]] and [[Perlis]]/[[Songkhla]] as well as [[Kedah]]/[[Songkhla]] portions of the border to curb smuggling. The walls were of concrete, steel, and topped barbed wire as well as iron fencing at other stretches. As both countries constructed their walls on their own territory, a strip of "no man's land" about 10 m wide was created and this strip of land became a convenient refuge for smugglers (not all smuggling was deterred by the wall) and drug runners.
In 2001, the two countries agreed to construct just one wall along the border which would be just inside Thai territory. The new border wall is 2.5 m high and made up of a concrete lower half and steel fencing on the upper half. At the base, barbed wire runs along the length of the wall.<ref>{{Citation | title = "No man's land" in M'sia-Thai border to be scrapped | newspaper = Utusan Malaysia Internet Edition | date = 3 August 2001 }}</ref> The reason given for the construction of the wall was to curb smuggling and encroachment. However, security concerns arising from the [[South Thailand insurgency]] in the late-1990s and early-2000s have also been an impetus for the barrier's construction.{{Citation needed|date=February 2016}}
==Maritime border==
Malaysia and Thailand share [[maritime border]]s in two areas: in the Straits of Malacca and in the Gulf of Thailand/South China Sea.
===Straits of Malacca===
At the western terminus of the land boundary, the 1909 Anglo-Siamese treaty determines the start of the [[maritime boundary]] as:
:With regard to the islands close to the west coast, those lying to the north of the parallel of latitude where the most seaward point of the north bank of the estuary of the Perlis River (the western terminus of the Malaysia-Thailand land boundary) touches the sea shall remain to Siam, and those lying to the south of the parallel shall become British."
:The island known as Pulau Langkawi, together with all the islets south of the mid-channel between Tarutao and Langkawi, and all the islands south of Langkawi shall become British. Tarutao and the islets to the north of mid-channel shall remain to Siam.
The [[Territorial waters#Territorial sea|territorial sea]] boundary agreement between the two countries signed on 24 October 1979<ref name="un.org">{{Citation | title = Treaty between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the two Countries | date = 24 October 1979 | url =https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/THA-MYS1979TS.PDF | access-date = 28 June 2008}}</ref> determined the mid-channel point between Langkawi and Tarutao to be at {{coord|6|28|30|N|99|39|12|E}} which was made the eastern starting point of the territorial sea boundary. Both countries also have a [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary agreement for this segment of their maritime boundary. The agreement, signed 21 December 1978, included [[Indonesia-Malaysia border|Indonesia]] as a signatory to enable the establishment of the common tripoint at {{coord|5|57|0|N|98|1|30|E}}.<ref>{{Citation | title = Maritime Boundaries: Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand | journal = Limits in the Seas | volume = 81 | date = 27 December 1978 | url = https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/59574.pdf }}</ref>

===Gulf of Thailand/South China Sea===
'''Agreements'''
The 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty states that the maritime boundary between the two countries as follows:
:"All islands adjacent to the eastern States of Kelantan and Terengganu, south of the parallel of latitude drawn from the point where the Sungei Golok reaches the coast at a place called Kuala Tabar, shall be transferred to Great Britain, and all islands to the north of that parallel shall remain to Siam."
Subsequently, the two governments signed several agreements over their common maritime boundary in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea. The 1973 [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary agreement between the two governments only covered the Straits of Malacca segment and did not cover the border in the Gulf of Thailand but on 24 October 1979, an agreement<ref name="un.org"/> and a memorandum of understanding<ref>{{Citation | title = Memorandum of Understanding between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Boundary between the two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand | date = 24 October 1979 | url = https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/THA-MYS1979CS.PDF | access-date = 28 June 2008}}</ref> were signed to determine the common maritime boundary of the two countries in the Gulf of Thailand. The first agreement established the territorial sea boundary from the mouth of the Golok River at {{coord|6|14|30|N|102|5|36|E}} to {{coord|6|27|30|N|102|10|0|E}}. The MOU established the continental shelf boundary from the northern end-point to {{coord|6|50|0|N|102|21|12|E}} with one turning point in between.
The boundary beyond the northern end-point is subject to dispute (see Disputes section [[#Disputes|below]]). However, both countries have come to an agreement to put aside the border dispute and allow for the joint [[exploitation of natural resources]] of the disputed area. The two countries signed a ''Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of a Joint Authority for the Exploitation of the Resources of the Sea-Bed in a Defined Area of the Continental Shelf of the Two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand'' on 21 February 1979, followed by an ''Agreement on the Constitution and Other Matters Relating to the Establishment of the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority'' on 30 May 1990 establishing a joint development area (JDA). Both agreements do not settle disputed maritime border and sovereignty issue of the disputed area and the countries continue staking their overlapping continental shelf claims.
'''Malaysia's 1979 map and Thailand's EEZ proclamation'''
In December 1979 just after the two countries signed the MOU on the joint development area, Malaysia published a map<ref>See [http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/img3.html map] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070710195622/http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/img3.html |date=10 July 2007 }} reproduced by the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country's response in the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea [http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/ResponseofSingapore.htm case concerning the reclamation of lands by Singapore in the Straits of Johor] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081210113801/http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/ResponseofSingapore.htm |date=10 December 2008 }}.</ref> showing its territorial sea and continental shelf and continued to assert its sovereignty over the entire joint development area. Malaysia's continental shelf boundary on the map corresponds with the western and northern limit of the joint development area.
On 16 February 1988, Thailand issued a royal proclamation to establish its [[exclusive economic zone]] boundary with Malaysia, establishing the limits of its claims in the disputed area. The boundary follows the eastern boundary of the [[#Joint development area|Joint Development Area]].<ref>{{Citation | title = Royal proclamation establishing the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Kingdom of Thailand adjacent to the Exclusive Economic Zone of Malaysia in the Gulf of Thailand | date = 16 February 1988 | url = https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/THA_1988_1_Proclamation.pdf | access-date = 2 July 2008}}</ref>
A small triangle in the northern portion of the joint development area is also subjected to an overlapping claim by [[Malaysia-Vietnam Border|Vietnam]]. In 1999, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam agreed to apply the joint development principles to this area. See section [[#Joint development area|below]].

==History==
The border between Thailand or [[Siam]] and the sultanates of the Malay Peninsula ([[Peninsular Malaysia]] today) has varied throughout history. The southern part of today Thailand has always been populated by Malays and traditional Malay sultanates of [[Kedah]] (of which [[Perlis]], Setul was part), [[Kelantan]], [[Patani Kingdom|Pattani]] (which consist of the areas of Singgora, Yala, Ligor) and [[Terengganu]] came under Siamese influence in the 19th century. The Malay states immediately to the south, namely Perak and Pahang were independent sultanates until the British started asserting influence over them in the late 1800s.
In 1785, the British obtained the island of [[Penang]] from the Sultan of [[Kedah]]. The channel between the island and the mainland of peninsular Malaysia became the border between British territory and Kedah.
On 6 May 1869, the United Kingdom and Siam signed an agreement known as the Bangkok Treaty of 1869 where Siam ceded a piece of territory on the mainland opposite Penang to the United Kingdom. The territory became known as Province Wellesley (known as [[Seberang Perai]] today). The treaty also defined the border between British and Siamese territory and this border remains the boundary line between Penang and Kedah today, although both are now constituent states of [[Malaysia]].
On 9 July 1909, the United Kingdom and Siam signed another agreement in Bangkok. Known as the [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909]], the agreement stated the states of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu belong to the United Kingdom while Pattani fell into Siamese hands. The treaty, in one of its four annexes, defined the border between British and Siamese territories. This border ultimately became today's border between Malaysia and Thailand.
Thailand regained influences of the Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu during World War II when the Japanese handed them over to the kingdom, thus moving the Malay States-Siamese border southwards again. The states were returned to the British at the end of the war.<ref>{{Citation| title =Malaysia-Thailand Boundary| journal =International Boundary Study| volume =57| pages =3–4| date =15 November 1965| url =http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/limitsinseas/ibs057.pdf| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20060916034515/http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS057.pdf| archive-date =16 September 2006| df =dmy-all}}</ref>
==Disputes==
[[Image:Danok Sadao Border Crossing2.jpg|right|thumb|The Sadao checkpoint (Ban Dan Nok), just across the Malaysia-Thailand border marked by the border stone in front. Photo taken from the Malaysian (Kedah) side of the border.]]
There are two stretches of the Malaysia–Thailand border which is subject to dispute. The first involves the land border in the Bukit Jeli (Jeli Hill) at the headwaters of the Golok River and the second involves the continental shelf boundary in the Gulf of Thailand. Neither dispute has resulted in aggression between the two countries.
===Bukit Jeli===
The alignment of an 8.5 km stretch of the land border in the area known as Bukit Jeli (Jeli Hill) near the headwaters of the Golok River is currently being disputed by both countries. The resulting disputed territory has an area of 42 hectares. Negotiations to resolve the dispute through the joint subcommittee on co-operation along the border is on-going. The dispute arose in the 1990s when demarcation work for the land border almost reached completion. Malaysia's former Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar was quoted as saying that the failure was because of the inability to reach a consensus over a formula to solve the dispute. He said problems arose because the geographical features as described in border protocol of the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty had changed.<ref>{{Citation | title = Talks over border demarcation with Thais to continue | newspaper = New Straits Times | page = 12 | date = 11 March 2003 }}</ref>
===Gulf of Thailand===
The dispute over the [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary between Malaysia and Thailand arises from the different baselines for Thailand which the two countries adopt in calculating the equidistant line for boundary. Thailand's proclaimed baseline runs from the terminus at Kuala Tabar (the eastern terminus of the Malaysia-Thailand land border as defined by the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty) northwards to [[Ko Losin]] islet and then northwestwards to Ko Kra. Malaysia however does not regard Ko Losin as valid baseline point and calculates the equidistant line on a baseline running along the shore.<ref name="dur.ac.uk">{{cite journal

While both countries have agreed on 24 October 1979<ref>''Treaty between Thailand and Malaysia relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the Two Countries'' (24 October 1979), Article 2 and ''Memorandum of Understanding between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Boundary between the two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand'' (24 October 1979) Article 1.</ref> on their maritime boundary for this area running {{convert|29|nmi|km}} out to sea, the boundary beyond the northeastern terminus of the territorial sea is subject to dispute. Malaysia's continental shelf boundary extends from the terminus at co-ordinate 07° 49' N, 103° 02' 30" E which corresponds to Point 43 in a 1979 map published by Malaysia denoting its territorial sea and continental shelf. Thailand claims its continental shelf boundary extends from the terminus to co-ordinate 07° 22'.0 N, 103° 42' 30" E. A small slice of the disputed area is also subjected to a claim by Vietnam.
As a temporary solution to the dispute, Malaysia and Thailand on 21 February 1979 signed a memorandum of understanding to create a 7,250 km square joint development area encompassing the entire disputed area. This was later followed by an agreement on 30 May 1990. The agreement allows for joint exploitation and benefit of natural resources in the joint development area. In 1999, Malaysia, Thailand and [[Malaysia-Vietnam Border|Vietnam]] reached an agreement based on the principle of joint development for the area where the three countries have overlapping claims. All the agreements specifically state that they do not compromise each country's sovereignty claim over the disputed area.<ref name="dur.ac.uk"/>
==Joint development area==
The '''[[Malaysia-Thailand joint development area|Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area]]''' is a 7,250 km square area in the [[Gulf of Thailand]] which was created as an interim measure to deal with the overlapping claims of the continental shelf between the two countries. The formula allows for both countries to share the non-living natural resources from the area on a 50:50 basis. It however does not extinguish the sovereignty claims by both countries over the area.

Malaysia's continental shelf limit claim is from Point A to Point C via Point B and thence to Point G while Thailand's Exclusive Economic Zone claim limit is from Point A to Point G through Points D, E, and F. It has not delimited its continental shelf limits beyond Point G.
==Border crossings==
There are a total of 9 border crossings between Thailand and Malaysia. All border crossings are permanent border crossings.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ข้อมูลช่องทางผ่านแดนและความตกลงเรื่องการสัญจรข้ามแดน |url=http://www.fad.moi.go.th/index.php/%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%9C%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%8D%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%99 |website=Foreign Affairs Division Office, Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of the Interior}}</ref>

The [[Golok River]] forms the easternmost 95 km stretch of the land border.thrwrhtrhtrhtrhrthrteherretrggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggwergwergnerg
The land border is based on the 1909 treaty between Thailand (then known as Siam), and the British which had started to exert its influence over the northern Malay states of [[Kedah]], [[Kelantan]], [[Perlis]] and [[Terengganu]] in the early 20th century, states which were previously under Siamese control. Currently, there are 4 Malaysian states ([[Perlis]], [[Kedah]], [[Perak]], [[Kelantan]]) and four Thai provinces ([[Satun Province|Satun]], [[Songkhla Province|Songkhla]], [[Yala Province|Yala]], [[Narathiwat Province|Narathiwat]]) that form the borders of Malaysia and Thailand.
[[File:Malaysia Thailand border.jpg|thumb|right|Map of the Malaysia-Thailand border]]Malaysia and Thailand have a [[Territorial waters#Territorial sea|territorial sea]] and a [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] bouneherwherhwererdary agreements for the [[Straits of Malacca|Straits of Magwergwergwerghwerhlacca]] which were signed in 1979 and 1971 respectively. The 1979 agreement also included [[Indonesia-Malaysia Border|Indonesia]] as a signatory as it also determined the common continental shelf border tripoint for the three countries. The 1979 agreement also established the territorial sea boundary in the [[Gulf of Thailand]] while a separate memorandum of understanding signed in 1979 established a short continental shelf boundary in the area. The boundary beyond that agreed is subject to dispute because of overlapping claims over the seabed. The overlapping claims led to the establishment of a [[Malaysia-Thailand joint development area|joint development area]] in 1990 where both countries agreed to share mineral resources in a 7,250 square km wedge-shaped area.
==Land border==
[[Image:Malaysia-Thai_border_stone_1.JPG|250px|right|thumb|A Malaysia-Thailand boundary stone at the Bukit Kayu Hitam-Danok border crossing.]]
[[File:Padang Besar, Perlis, Malaysia - panoramio (1).jpg|thumb|250px|right|Malaysian boundary wall near Padang Besar, Malaysia]]
The 658-kilometre Malaysia-Thailand land boundary consists of 552-kilometre section on landerhwerhewrhrwger running along the [[Drainage divide|watershed]] of several mountain ranges in northern Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand, and 106 kilometres running along the [[thalweg]] of the Golok River (Malay: ''Sungai Golok'').<ref name="Jupem">{{cite web |url=https://www.jupem.gov.my/jupem18a/assets/uploads/files/laporan_tahunan/2b5fa-laporan-tahunan-2018.pdf|title=Laporan Tahunan Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan 2018 (Department of Survey and Mapping Annual Report 2018) |publisher=Department of Survey and Mapping, Malaysia|language=ms|access-date=28 February 2020}}</ref>
From west to east, the border begins at a point which lies just north of the [[Perlis River]] estuary as defined in the schedule of the [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909]] where the westernmost land boundary terminus was to be at "the most seaward point of the northern bank of the estuary of the Perlis River".
The treaty then states that the border moves northward from this point to the Sayun Range, an extension of the Si Thammarat Mountains of Thailand, for about 15 miles (24 km) before heading eastward along the watershed of Thailand's Lam Yai River and Malaysia's Perlis River towards the ridge of the Kedah-Singgora mountains where it moves southwards along the ridgeline until it reaches the watershed for the Perak and Pattani Rivers. Mountain peaks along this section of the border including Lata Papalang.
The border then moves eastward across the northern part of Peninsula Malaysia's Main Range (Malay: ''Banjaran Titiwangsa'') along the watershed of Malaysia's Perak River and Pergau River (in [[Kelantan]]) on one hand, and Thailand's Pattani and Sai Buri Rivers on the other until it reaches Jeli Hill (Malay: ''Bukit Jeli''). Among the mountain peaks located along this section of the border are Kobeh Hill (Malay: Bukit Kobeh), which is the southernmost point of Thailand, and [[Ulu Titi Basah]].
At Bukit Jeli, an 8.5 km stretch of the border remains disputed by both countries (see [[#Disputes|below]]).<ref>{{cite news|title=Deputy minister: Mapping of M'sia-Thailand border completed except an area at Bukit Jeli|url=https://www.theborneopost.com/2015/11/13/deputy-minister-mapping-of-msia-thailand-border-completed-except-an-area-at-bukit-jeli/|access-date=2020-02-27|newspaper=The Borneo Post|date=2015-11-13|language=en}}</ref>
From Bukit Jeli, the boundary follows the Golok River until the river mouth at Kuala Tabar, a distance of 95 km. The border follows the deepest part or [[thalweg]] of the river.<ref>{{Citation | title = Malaysia-Thailand Boundary | journal = International Boundary Study | volume = 57 | date = 15 November 1965 | url = http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/limitsinseas/ibs057.pdf }}</ref>
===Survey and demarcation===
Work to survey and demarcate the watershed boundary began on 6 July 1973 and was completed except for the 8.5 kilometre disputed section at Jeli Hill on 26 September 1985. As for the Golok River section, work to survey the boundary began on 1 November 2000 and was completed on 30 September 2009.<ref name="Jupem"/>
===Barrier===
In the 1970s, both Malaysia and Thailand constructed walls along their common border, mostly in [[Perlis]]/[[Satun]] and [[Perlis]]/[[Songkhla]] as well as [[Kedah]]/[[Songkhla]] portions of the border to curb smuggling. The walls were of concrete, steel, and topped barbed wire as well as iron fencing at other stretches. As both countries constructed their walls on their own territory, a strip of "no man's land" about 10 m wide was created and this strip of land became a convenient refuge for smugglers (not all smuggling was deterred by the wall) and drug runners.
In 2001, the two countries agreed to construct just one wall along the border which would be just inside Thai territory. The new border wall is 2.5 m high and made up of a concrete lower half and steel fencing on the upper half. At the base, barbed wire runs along the length of the wall.<ref>{{Citation | title = "No man's land" in M'sia-Thai border to be scrapped | newspaper = Utusan Malaysia Internet Edition | date = 3 August 2001 }}</ref> The reason given for the construction of the wall was to curb smuggling and encroachment. However, security concerns arising from the [[South Thailand insurgency]] in the late-1990s and early-2000s have also been an impetus for the barrier's construction.{{Citation needed|date=February 2016}}
==Maritime border==
Malaysia and Thailand share [[maritime border]]s in two areas: in the Straits of Malacca and in the Gulf of Thailand/South China Sea.
===Straits of Malacca===
At the western terminus of the land boundary, the 1909 Anglo-Siamese treaty determines the start of the [[maritime boundary]] as:
:With regard to the islands close to the west coast, those lying to the north of the parallel of latitude where the most seaward point of the north bank of the estuary of the Perlis River (the western terminus of the Malaysia-Thailand land boundary) touches the sea shall remain to Siam, and those lying to the south of the parallel shall become British."
:The island known as Pulau Langkawi, together with all the islets south of the mid-channel between Tarutao and Langkawi, and all the islands south of Langkawi shall become British. Tarutao and the islets to the north of mid-channel shall remain to Siam.
The [[Territorial waters#Territorial sea|territorial sea]] boundary agreement between the two countries signed on 24 October 1979<ref name="un.org">{{Citation | title = Treaty between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the two Countries | date = 24 October 1979 | url =https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/THA-MYS1979TS.PDF | access-date = 28 June 2008}}</ref> determined the mid-channel point between Langkawi and Tarutao to be at {{coord|6|28|30|N|99|39|12|E}} which was made the eastern starting point of the territorial sea boundary. Both countries also have a [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary agreement for this segment of their maritime boundary. The agreement, signed 21 December 1978, included [[Indonesia-Malaysia border|Indonesia]] as a signatory to enable the establishment of the common tripoint at {{coord|5|57|0|N|98|1|30|E}}.<ref>{{Citation | title = Maritime Boundaries: Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand | journal = Limits in the Seas | volume = 81 | date = 27 December 1978 | url = https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/59574.pdf }}</ref>

===Gulf of Thailand/South China Sea===
'''Agreements'''
The 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty states that the maritime boundary between the two countries as follows:
:"All islands adjacent to the eastern States of Kelantan and Terengganu, south of the parallel of latitude drawn from the point where the Sungei Golok reaches the coast at a place called Kuala Tabar, shall be transferred to Great Britain, and all islands to the north of that parallel shall remain to Siam."
Subsequently, the two governments signed several agreements over their common maritime boundary in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea. The 1973 [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary agreement between the two governments only covered the Straits of Malacca segment and did not cover the border in the Gulf of Thailand but on 24 October 1979, an agreement<ref name="un.org"/> and a memorandum of understanding<ref>{{Citation | title = Memorandum of Understanding between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Boundary between the two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand | date = 24 October 1979 | url = https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/THA-MYS1979CS.PDF | access-date = 28 June 2008}}</ref> were signed to determine the common maritime boundary of the two countries in the Gulf of Thailand. The first agreement established the territorial sea boundary from the mouth of the Golok River at {{coord|6|14|30|N|102|5|36|E}} to {{coord|6|27|30|N|102|10|0|E}}. The MOU established the continental shelf boundary from the northern end-point to {{coord|6|50|0|N|102|21|12|E}} with one turning point in between.
The boundary beyond the northern end-point is subject to dispute (see Disputes section [[#Disputes|below]]). However, both countries have come to an agreement to put aside the border dispute and allow for the joint [[exploitation of natural resources]] of the disputed area. The two countries signed a ''Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of a Joint Authority for the Exploitation of the Resources of the Sea-Bed in a Defined Area of the Continental Shelf of the Two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand'' on 21 February 1979, followed by an ''Agreement on the Constitution and Other Matters Relating to the Establishment of the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority'' on 30 May 1990 establishing a joint development area (JDA). Both agreements do not settle disputed maritime border and sovereignty issue of the disputed area and the countries continue staking their overlapping continental shelf claims.
'''Malaysia's 1979 map and Thailand's EEZ proclamation'''
In December 1979 just after the two countries signed the MOU on the joint development area, Malaysia published a map<ref>See [http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/img3.html map] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070710195622/http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/img3.html |date=10 July 2007 }} reproduced by the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country's response in the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea [http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/ResponseofSingapore.htm case concerning the reclamation of lands by Singapore in the Straits of Johor] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081210113801/http://www.mfa.gov.sg/reclamation/ResponseofSingapore.htm |date=10 December 2008 }}.</ref> showing its territorial sea and continental shelf and continued to assert its sovereignty over the entire joint development area. Malaysia's continental shelf boundary on the map corresponds with the western and northern limit of the joint development area.
On 16 February 1988, Thailand issued a royal proclamation to establish its [[exclusive economic zone]] boundary with Malaysia, establishing the limits of its claims in the disputed area. The boundary follows the eastern boundary of the [[#Joint development area|Joint Development Area]].<ref>{{Citation | title = Royal proclamation establishing the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Kingdom of Thailand adjacent to the Exclusive Economic Zone of Malaysia in the Gulf of Thailand | date = 16 February 1988 | url = https://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/THA_1988_1_Proclamation.pdf | access-date = 2 July 2008}}</ref>
A small triangle in the northern portion of the joint development area is also subjected to an overlapping claim by [[Malaysia-Vietnam Border|Vietnam]]. In 1999, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam agreed to apply the joint development principles to this area. See section [[#Joint development area|below]].

==History==
The border between Thailand or [[Siam]] and the sultanates of the Malay Peninsula ([[Peninsular Malaysia]] today) has varied throughout history. The southern part of today Thailand has always been populated by Malays and traditional Malay sultanates of [[Kedah]] (of which [[Perlis]], Setul was part), [[Kelantan]], [[Patani Kingdom|Pattani]] (which consist of the areas of Singgora, Yala, Ligor) and [[Terengganu]] came under Siamese influence in the 19th century. The Malay states immediately to the south, namely Perak and Pahang were independent sultanates until the British started asserting influence over them in the late 1800s.
In 1785, the British obtained the island of [[Penang]] from the Sultan of [[Kedah]]. The channel between the island and the mainland of peninsular Malaysia became the border between British territory and Kedah.
On 6 May 1869, the United Kingdom and Siam signed an agreement known as the Bangkok Treaty of 1869 where Siam ceded a piece of territory on the mainland opposite Penang to the United Kingdom. The territory became known as Province Wellesley (known as [[Seberang Perai]] today). The treaty also defined the border between British and Siamese territory and this border remains the boundary line between Penang and Kedah today, although both are now constituent states of [[Malaysia]].
On 9 July 1909, the United Kingdom and Siam signed another agreement in Bangkok. Known as the [[Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909]], the agreement stated the states of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu belong to the United Kingdom while Pattani fell into Siamese hands. The treaty, in one of its four annexes, defined the border between British and Siamese territories. This border ultimately became today's border between Malaysia and Thailand.
Thailand regained influences of the Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu during World War II when the Japanese handed them over to the kingdom, thus moving the Malay States-Siamese border southwards again. The states were returned to the British at the end of the war.<ref>{{Citation| title =Malaysia-Thailand Boundary| journal =International Boundary Study| volume =57| pages =3–4| date =15 November 1965| url =http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/limitsinseas/ibs057.pdf| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20060916034515/http://www.law.fsu.edu/library/collection/LimitsinSeas/IBS057.pdf| archive-date =16 September 2006| df =dmy-all}}</ref>
==Disputes==
[[Image:Danok Sadao Border Crossing2.jpg|right|thumb|The Sadao checkpoint (Ban Dan Nok), just across the Malaysia-Thailand border marked by the border stone in front. Photo taken from the Malaysian (Kedah) side of the border.]]
There are two stretches of the Malaysia–Thailand border which is subject to dispute. The first involves the land border in the Bukit Jeli (Jeli Hill) at the headwaters of the Golok River and the second involves the continental shelf boundary in the Gulf of Thailand. Neither dispute has resulted in aggression between the two countries.
===Bukit Jeli===
The alignment of an 8.5 km stretch of the land border in the area known as Bukit Jeli (Jeli Hill) near the headwaters of the Golok River is currently being disputed by both countries. The resulting disputed territory has an area of 42 hectares. Negotiations to resolve the dispute through the joint subcommittee on co-operation along the border is on-going. The dispute arose in the 1990s when demarcation work for the land border almost reached completion. Malaysia's former Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar was quoted as saying that the failure was because of the inability to reach a consensus over a formula to solve the dispute. He said problems arose because the geographical features as described in border protocol of the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty had changed.<ref>{{Citation | title = Talks over border demarcation with Thais to continue | newspaper = New Straits Times | page = 12 | date = 11 March 2003 }}</ref>
===Gulf of Thailand===
The dispute over the [[Territorial waters#Continental shelf|continental shelf]] boundary between Malaysia and Thailand arises from the different baselines for Thailand which the two countries adopt in calculating the equidistant line for boundary. Thailand's proclaimed baseline runs from the terminus at Kuala Tabar (the eastern terminus of the Malaysia-Thailand land border as defined by the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty) northwards to [[Ko Losin]] islet and then northwestwards to Ko Kra. Malaysia however does not regard Ko Losin as valid baseline point and calculates the equidistant line on a baseline running along the shore.<ref name="dur.ac.uk">{{cite journal

While both countries have agreed on 24 October 1979<ref>''Treaty between Thailand and Malaysia relating to the Delimitation of the Territorial Seas of the Two Countries'' (24 October 1979), Article 2 and ''Memorandum of Understanding between the Kingdom of Thailand and Malaysia on the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Boundary between the two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand'' (24 October 1979) Article 1.</ref> on their maritime boundary for this area running {{convert|29|nmi|km}} out to sea, the boundary beyond the northeastern terminus of the territorial sea is subject to dispute. Malaysia's continental shelf boundary extends from the terminus at co-ordinate 07° 49' N, 103° 02' 30" E which corresponds to Point 43 in a 1979 map published by Malaysia denoting its territorial sea and continental shelf. Thailand claims its continental shelf boundary extends from the terminus to co-ordinate 07° 22'.0 N, 103° 42' 30" E. A small slice of the disputed area is also subjected to a claim by Vietnam.
As a temporary solution to the dispute, Malaysia and Thailand on 21 February 1979 signed a memorandum of understanding to create a 7,250 km square joint development area encompassing the entire disputed area. This was later followed by an agreement on 30 May 1990. The agreement allows for joint exploitation and benefit of natural resources in the joint development area. In 1999, Malaysia, Thailand and [[Malaysia-Vietnam Border|Vietnam]] reached an agreement based on the principle of joint development for the area where the three countries have overlapping claims. All the agreements specifically state that they do not compromise each country's sovereignty claim over the disputed area.<ref name="dur.ac.uk"/>
==Joint development area==
The '''[[Malaysia-Thailand joint development area|Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area]]''' is a 7,250 km square area in the [[Gulf of Thailand]] which was created as an interim measure to deal with the overlapping claims of the continental shelf between the two countries. The formula allows for both countries to share the non-living natural resources from the area on a 50:50 basis. It however does not extinguish the sovereignty claims by both countries over the area.

</p><p>From west to east, the border begins at a point which lies just north of the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlis_River" title="Perlis River">Perlis River</a> estuary as defined in the schedule of the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Siamese_Treaty_of_1909" title="Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909">Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909</a> where the westernmost land boundary terminus was to be at "the most seaward point of the northern bank of the estuary of the Perlis River".
</p><p>The treaty then states that the border moves northward from this point to the Sayun Range, an extension of the Si Thammarat Mountains of Thailand, for about 15 miles (24 km) before heading eastward along the watershed of Thailand's Lam Yai River and Malaysia's Perlis River towards the ridge of the Kedah-Singgora mountains where it moves southwards along the ridgeline until it reaches the watershed for the Perak and Pattani Rivers. Mountain peaks along this section of the border including Lata Papalang.
</p><p>The border then moves eastward across the northern part of Peninsula Malaysia's Main Range (Malay: <i>Banjaran Titiwangsa</i>) along the watershed of Malaysia's Perak River and Pergau River (in <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelantan" title="Kelantan">Kelantan</a>) on one hand, and Thailand's Pattani and Sai Buri Rivers on the other until it reaches Jeli Hill (Malay: <i>Bukit Jeli</i>).

<p>In the 1970s, both Malaysia and Thailand constructed walls along their common border, mostly in <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlis" title="Perlis">Perlis</a>/<a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satun" title="Satun">Satun</a> and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlis" title="Perlis">Perlis</a>/<a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songkhla" title="Songkhla">Songkhla</a> as well as <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kedah" title="Kedah">Kedah</a>/<a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songkhla" title="Songkhla">Songkhla</a> portions of the border to curb smuggling. The walls were of concrete, steel, and topped barbed wire as well as iron fencing at other stretches. As both countries constructed their walls on their own territory, a strip of "no man's land" about 10 m wide was created and this strip of land became a convenient refuge for smugglers (not all smuggling was deterred by the wall) and drug runners.
</p><p>In 2001, the two countries agreed to construct just one wall along the border which would be just inside Thai territory. The new border wall is 2.5 m high and made up of a concrete lower half and steel fencing on the upper half. At the base, barbed wire runs along the length of the wall.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup> The reason given for the construction of the wall was to curb smuggling and encroachment. However, security concerns arising from the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Thailand_insurgency" title="South Thailand insurgency">South Thailand insurgency</a> in the late-1990s and early-2000s have also been an impetus for the barrier's construction.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

<p><b>Agreements</b>
</p><p>The 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty states that the maritime boundary between the two countries as follows:
</p>
<dl><dd>"All islands adjacent to the eastern States of Kelantan and Terengganu, south of the parallel of latitude drawn from the point where the Sungei Golok reaches the coast at a place called Kuala Tabar, shall be transferred to Great Britain, and all islands to the north of that parallel shall remain to Siam."</dd></dl>
<p>Subsequently, the two governments signed several agreements over their common maritime boundary in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea. The 1973 <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_waters#Continental_shelf" title="Territorial waters">continental shelf</a> boundary agreement between the two governments only covered the Straits of Malacca segment and did not cover the border in the Gulf of Thailand but on 24 October 1979, an agreement<sup id="cite_ref-un.org_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-un.org-5">[5]</a></sup> and a memorandum of understanding<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a></sup> were signed to determine the common maritime boundary of the two countries in the Gulf of Thailand.

</p><p>The boundary beyond the northern end-point is subject to dispute (see Disputes section <a href="#Disputes">below</a>). However, both countries have come to an agreement to put aside the border dispute and allow for the joint <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation_of_natural_resources" title="Exploitation of natural resources">exploitation of natural resources</a> of the disputed area. The two countries signed a <i>Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of a Joint Authority for the Exploitation of the Resources of the Sea-Bed in a Defined Area of the Continental Shelf of the Two Countries in the Gulf of Thailand</i> on 21 February 1979, followed by an <i>Agreement on the Constitution and Other Matters Relating to the Establishment of the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Authority</i> on 30 May 1990 establishing a joint development area (JDA). Both agreements do not settle disputed maritime border and sovereignty issue of the disputed area and the countries continue staking their overlapping continental shelf claims.
</p><p><b>Malaysia's 1979 map and Thailand's EEZ proclamation</b>
</p><p>In December 1979 just after the two countries signed the MOU on the joint development area, Malaysia published a map<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a></sup> showing its territorial sea and continental shelf and continued to assert its sovereignty over the entire joint development area. Malaysia's continental shelf boundary on the map corresponds with the western and northern limit of the joint development area.
</p><p>On 16 February 1988, Thailand issued a royal proclamation to establish its <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_economic_zone" title="Exclusive economic zone">exclusive economic zone</a> boundary with Malaysia, establishing the limits of its claims in the disputed area. The boundary follows the eastern boundary of the <a href="#Joint_development_area">Joint Development Area</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup>
</p><p>A small triangle in the northern portion of the joint development area is also subjected to an overlapping claim by <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia-Vietnam_Border" class="mw-redirect" title="Malaysia-Vietnam Border">Vietnam</a>. In 1999, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam agreed to apply the joint development principles to this area. See section <a href="#Joint_development_area">below</a>.

<p>The border between Thailand or <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siam" class="mw-redirect" title="Siam">Siam</a> and the sultanates of the Malay Peninsula (<a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peninsular_Malaysia" title="Peninsular Malaysia">Peninsular Malaysia</a> today) has varied throughout history. The southern part of today Thailand has always been populated by Malays and traditional Malay sultanates of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kedah" title="Kedah">Kedah</a> (of which <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlis" title="Perlis">Perlis</a>, Setul was part), <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelantan" title="Kelantan">Kelantan</a>, <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patani_Kingdom" title="Patani Kingdom">Pattani</a> (which consist of the areas of Singgora, Yala, Ligor) and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terengganu" title="Terengganu">Terengganu</a> came under Siamese influence in the 19th century. The Malay states immediately to the south, namely Perak and Pahang were independent sultanates until the British started asserting influence over them in the late 1800s.
</p><p>In 1785, the British obtained the island of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang" title="Penang">Penang</a> from the Sultan of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kedah" title="Kedah">Kedah</a>. The channel between the island and the mainland of peninsular Malaysia became the border between British territory and Kedah.
</p><p>On 6 May 1869, the United Kingdom and Siam signed an agreement known as the Bangkok Treaty of 1869 where Siam ceded a piece of territory on the mainland opposite Penang to the United Kingdom. The territory became known as Province Wellesley (known as <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seberang_Perai" title="Seberang Perai">Seberang Perai</a> today). The treaty also defined the border between British and Siamese territory and this border remains the boundary line between Penang and Kedah today, although both are now constituent states of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia">Malaysia</a>.
</p><p>On 9 July 1909, the United Kingdom and Siam signed another agreement in Bangkok. Known as the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Siamese_Treaty_of_1909" title="Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909">Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909</a>, the agreement stated the states of Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu belong to the United Kingdom while Pattani fell into Siamese hands. The treaty, in one of its four annexes, defined the border between British and Siamese territories. This border ultimately became today's border between Malaysia and Thailand.
</p><p>Thailand regained influences of the Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu during World War II when the Japanese handed them over to the kingdom, thus moving the Malay States-Siamese border southwards again. The states were returned to the British at the end of the war.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup>

<p>There are two stretches of the Malaysia–Thailand border which is subject to dispute. The first involves the land border in the Bukit Jeli (Jeli Hill) at the headwaters of the Golok River and the second involves the continental shelf boundary in the Gulf of Thailand. Neither dispute has resulted in aggression between the two countries.
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Bukit_Jeli">Bukit Jeli</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Malaysia%E2%80%93Thailand_border&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Bukit Jeli">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3>
<p>The alignment of an 8.5 km stretch of the land border in the area known as Bukit Jeli (Jeli Hill) near the headwaters of the Golok River is currently being disputed by both countries. The resulting disputed territory has an area of 42 hectares. Negotiations to resolve the dispute through the joint subcommittee on co-operation along the border is on-going. The dispute arose in the 1990s when demarcation work for the land border almost reached completion. Malaysia's former Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar was quoted as saying that the failure was because of the inability to reach a consensus over a formula to solve the dispute. He said problems arose because the geographical features as described in border protocol of the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty had changed.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a></sup>
</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Gulf_of_Thailand">Gulf of Thailand</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Malaysia%E2%80%93Thailand_border&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Gulf of Thailand">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3>
<p>The dispute over the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_waters#Continental_shelf" title="Territorial waters">continental shelf</a> boundary between Malaysia and Thailand arises from the different baselines for Thailand which the two countries adopt in calculating the equidistant line for boundary. Thailand's proclaimed baseline runs from the terminus at Kuala Tabar (the eastern terminus of the Malaysia-Thailand land border as defined by the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty) northwards to <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko_Losin" title="Ko Losin">Ko Losin</a> islet and then northwestwards to Ko Kra. Malaysia however does not regard Ko Losin as valid baseline point and calculates the equidistant line on a baseline running along the shore.<sup id="cite_ref-dur.ac.uk_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dur.ac.uk-12">[12]</a></sup>
</p><p>While both countries have agreed on 24 October 1979<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> on their maritime boundary for this area running 29 nautical miles (54 km) out to sea, the boundary beyond the northeastern terminus of the territorial sea is subject to dispute. Malaysia's continental shelf boundary extends from the terminus at co-ordinate 07° 49' N, 103° 02' 30" E which corresponds to Point 43 in a 1979 map published by Malaysia denoting its territorial sea and continental shelf. Thailand claims its continental shelf boundary extends from the terminus to co-ordinate 07° 22'.0 N, 103° 42' 30" E. A small slice of the disputed area is also subjected to a claim by Vietnam.
</p><p>As a temporary solution to the dispute, Malaysia and Thailand on 21 February 1979 signed a memorandum of understanding to create a 7,250 km square joint development area encompassing the entire disputed area. This was later followed by an agreement on 30 May 1990. The agreement allows for joint exploitation and benefit of natural resources in the joint development area. In 1999, Malaysia, Thailand and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia-Vietnam_Border" class="mw-redirect" title="Malaysia-Vietnam Border">Vietnam</a> reached an agreement based on the principle of joint development for the area where the three countries have overlapping claims. All the agreements specifically state that they do not compromise each country's sovereignty claim over the disputed area.<sup id="cite_ref-dur.ac.uk_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dur.ac.uk-12">[12]</a></sup>
