Likay in Thailand originated as an old Islamic religious activity that was imported into Thailand during the Ayutthaya era. This show was changed and modified by Thai culture and became a kind of Thai acting performance. Likay is very famous in Central Thailand and there are more than six hundred Likay troupes in the area. Most of them also conserve the traditional traits and identities of Thai Likay very well, even if some things have been changed over time. The nine important components of Likay performance are: ritual and belief, Likay stage setting, standard Likay music bands, skillful performers, specific costumes, interesting drama, authentic songs, good language poems, and suitable dancing. The researcher found that the current problems of Likay performance in Central Thailand can be classified into three groups. The first group is the problem with performers, such as a lack of professional performers and the development of future generations. The second group concerned the nine components of Likay performance, such as a lack of interest, ignorance of traditional rituals, lack of common language and poor audiences support. The final group concerned troupe management, such as poor support by communities and local governors. For
