Why is Bangkok called the Buddhist capital?

Bangkok is called "Buddhist Capital" for the following reasons:

1. Thailand has the largest Buddhist population in China. More than 90% of the people in the country believe in Buddhism, and there is a place called "Yellow Robe Buddha Country", so its capital Bangkok is called "Buddhist Capital".

Bangkok has the largest number of Buddhist temples in the world. There are more than 400 Buddhist temples of different sizes. Pagodas, red-crowned temples and fish-ridged Thai temples can be seen everywhere.

3. The meaning of "Bangkok" itself includes the meaning of "Buddhist capital". Thais call Bangkok a "military post", which means "city of angels". Translate its Thai full name into Latin, with a length of 65,438+067 letters, which means: "city of angels, a great city, the residence of the Jade Buddha, an indestructible city, a cosmopolitan city endowed with nine precious stones, a magnificent palace full of celestial residence like a reincarnated god, and a cosmopolitan city endowed by Indra and built by Vishnu."

4. It may also be related to the fact that the headquarters of the Buddhist international organization "World Buddhist Friendship Association" is located in Bangkok.
