The objective of this research was to examine the techniques for transforming performance literature of the Early Rattanakosin Period into same-gender literature. The information was gathered from websites, e-book and printed formats. According to the study, the most popular performance literature of the Early Rattanakosin Period to be converted into same-gender literature was Ramakien, mainly involving male characters. In terms of literary transformation techniques, it was discovered that there were three types of plot and story modifications: using the plot and story of the original literature, using an incarnation storyline, and creating a completely new story. Two interesting characteristics for character modification were discovered: a new character relationship and modifying the names and personalities of the characters. Two types of setting adaptation were discovered: using the original setting and changing the setting to be in the modern period. The personal tastes of the authors, the norm of the story and the needs of the readers were the factors that influenced the transformation of the literature.
