Syburi (Thai: ไทรบุรี) is the name for the Malay state of Kedah given back its Siamese ruler when the Japanese occupied British Malaya during World War II. In July 1943, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo announced that Kedah (along with Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu) were to be given away to Siam as part of a Treaty of Friendship signed between Siam and Japan at the onset of the Battle of Malaya. Earlier in 1941, Siam had agreed to allow the Japanese troops to cross Siam into Malaya. From 18 October 1943 till the surrender of the Japanese at the end of the war, Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis were under Siamese administration. After the Japanese surrender, Kedah and the three other states were returned back to the British.

People born in Syburi are considered subjects of the King of Thailand; thus, people who were born there and are now living in the state of Kedah are permitted to purchase land and live in Thailand even though technically, now they are living in a Malaysian state. ^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}
