After several times making archaeological exploration and selected sites excavation in Prawae village and Ban wat village in the district of Yarang, Patani province, southern Thailand and after the studying of ancient documents scattered in different countries, the historians have the opinion that Kingdom of Langkasuka existed in between 2nd-14th century AD. located somewhere in the Malay peninsula from Kra Isthmus (now in Thailand) to present day of Malaysia northern states. The scanty written scripts and the limitation of archaeological evidences had become the causes of different interpretation and different opinion regarding the Kingdom of Langkasuka’s location.

Some of Thai historians after studying of many Chinese accounts believed that Langkasuka must be somewhere in Maekloang-Tacheen river basin in Nakhonchaisri district, Nakhonpathom province in the middle part of now Thailand , some Kedah historians suggested that Kedah was the capital of Langkasuka before moving to Patani in Yarang district , some Kelantan historians believed that the capital city of Langkasuka is in Tanah Merah in the state of now Kelantan, while the local historians convince themselves by the archaeological remains in Yarang district which supported by many outstanding south east Asia historians .
