Religion in Thailand
Although Thailand is considered one of the capitals of entertainment, it remains a country with a very strong spiritual component; religion plays a very important role here, influencing the daily life of the population, even if to be more correct we should talk about religions. Although the dominant religion is Theravada Buddhism, which is the basis of Thai culture and is professed by about 95% of the population, there is a great religious tolerance that allows peaceful coexistence with other faiths, such as Islam, Christianity , Hinduism, Sikhism, etc., each of which has its own places of worship in the country. This openness is born precisely from the Buddhist teachings that promote the ideal of peace and tolerance towards others.
