Ancient temples and bright-colored Buddhists robes reflect Thailand's charm. There are over 29 thousand temples in the country, and most of its population are devout Buddhists. Many Thai households have a special altar to the Buddha at which they pray twice a day. These altars are common in public as well. In Thailand, Buddhism is not only a religion, but also a way of life.

Buddhist temples with marble stones and golden statues are a common sight throughout Thailand. Monks in saffron robes provide visitors with memorable images.
