[Inconsistent capitalization of southern]

The article is highly inconsistent in terms of whether 'southern' is capitalized. The rule is generally that if a region is a formal political or administrative division, formal regional name, or historical regional name it is capitalized, but if it is a mere description in terms of compass direction, it is in lower case. Thus, we write of "In the southern regions of Canada" and "southern Valencia" but " the Western, Eastern Alps, and Southern Alps" (all from Wiki). Someone who knows for sure which category applies in Thailand's case should edit accordingly. I know the rules but am not clear on Thailand's case.
