Temples

Chedi LuangFor any visitor wishing to get a quick feel for the Thai people and culture, there's no better place to go than a temple. The temple or monastery, colloquially known as 'wat' is where much of Thailand's traditional culture originated. It's still the best place to go to see typical Thai Buddhist traditions.

Monuments

King Tak sinThe construction of monuments in the form of statues or symbolic figures in memory of important persons or historical incidents is actually not a Thai tradition. It came to Thailand only recently during the reign of King Rama V when the country began to open to western influences.

Shrines

San Lak MuangThe belief in the supernatural power of unseen and unproven phenomena is in the Thai blood. Even though most Thais are followers of Buddhism, Thai people also pay respect to icons and symbolic figures of holy spirits.
