The majority religion in Thailand is Buddhism, 95 percent of the population are Buddhist but the percentage of Thais who have animist beliefs is probably slightly higher. Animism is practiced on a daily basis by most Thai people, although their religion is Buddhism they actually devote more of their time to Animist beliefs than they do practicing Buddhism.
In Thailand there is a rather unique religious and spiritual harmony, sorry, it’s more than that, it’s a religious, spiritual and superstitious harmony, what you might call a “spiritual fusion”. Buddhism, Hinduism and Animism all play a part in the day to day life of Thais, it is quite easy to distinguish the Buddhist activities because everyone recognizes Buddha and there is no mistaking the wais, prayers and offerings which are made in his respect.
