Likay (Thai: ลิเก, RTGS: like, pronounced [líʔ.kēː]) is a form of popular folk theatre from Central Thailand (not in Bangkok, where Teochew opera are folk theatre.^{[citation needed]}). Its uniqueness is found in the combination of extravagant costumes with barely equipped stages and vaguely determined storylines, so that the performances depend mainly on the actors' skills of improvisation and the audiences' imagination.^[1][2]
