The two southern routes pass from Trang on the west coast respectively to Nakhon Sri Thammarat and Patalung. There are no early remains at Trang, but, in the caves along both these routes, there were formerly large number of votive tablets, stamped with figures of Mahāyānist Bodhisatvas, and Nāgarī Inscriptions, dating from tenth century or possibly earlier. It would appear, therefore, that these two routes were chiefly used in later times during the Śailendra period.
