Here are some issues with the article:

Capitalization - either "Nang Yai" or "nang yai." Both are used.
At the beginning of the article, it says "confined almost exclusively to the southern part of the country" but at the end, it says "Nang Yai can be found presently throughout Thailand."
The article says the puppets are made of buffalo. Is this water buffalo? Saying just "buffalo" sounds odd.
There is no article for "mask dance." Does this refer to khon? See Dance in Thailand#Khon.
Does "a 6 by 16 white screen" mean meters?
The meaning of "strands" is unclear.
What does the "dubber" do?
The meaning of "The biggest puppet is one which characterizes a place" is unclear.
The sentence "There is doubt that why large shadow puppet performer should be male and must be strong enough to hold the puppet through the course of performance period" does not make sense. Specifically, what does "There is doubt" mean?

This is a wonderful article and I hope these issues can be cleared up to help people understand the world of nang yai even better. Wakablogger2 (talk) 19:23, 11 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
