 note = {Article, Some of the traditional folk dance-dramas that have spread across Thailand and Malaysia contain animistic and Brahminical cultural elements that predate the arrival of Theravada Buddhism and Islam. They are orally transmitted traditions performed by groups of performers and the exact dates of their origin are unknown. However, their transmission across time and space resembles the evolution of the ancient version of the mandala structure centered on Nakhon Si Thammarat. Following the establishment of the border between Thailand and Malaya and the adoption of Buddhism and Islam  in each respective country, the Nora, Makyung and Mek Melung dance-dramas were adapted to conform to new lifestyles, urbanization, and changing political and religious norms.},
