Thailand is one of the world's strongest Buddhist countries. The state religion of Thailand is Theravada Buddhism, a branch of Theravada Buddhism. More than 90% of Thais believe in Theravada Buddhism. The rest practice Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and other faiths—all with full freedom of speech. Buddhism continues to have a strong influence on daily life. Elders are highly respected by people. Therefore, whether in cities or villages, temples (wat) are the center of social and religious life. Zen is one of the most popular aspects of Buddhism, with countless Thais meditating regularly to promote inner peace and happiness. Visitors can also learn the basic principles of zazen at several centers in Bangkok or elsewhere in the country. Thailand clothing recommendations

What kind of clothing you choose when traveling to Thailand mainly depends on the travel season and itinerary. Shorts, sleeveless T-shirts, and beach shoes are the most practical. Some places in Thailand have very strict dress requirements and don't like people who dress too casually. Follow WeChat ID to send a Canon camera: love_trips. Especially some temples or high-end hotels refuse entry to disheveled people.

Loose, lightweight, breathable, and easy-drying clothing is the best choice for travel in the rainy season. It is also recommended to always bring a poncho or umbrella. The streets are easily flooded during the rainy season, so temples and some offices will require you to slip on your shoes before entering, so slippers are very practical.

In addition, a sun hat is a must-have all year round, and one that can be used in both rain and shine is perfect.

In the cool season, if you plan to travel to the north, such as Mae Hong Son or Chiang Rai, bring a long-sleeved T-shirt. Or a jacket would be a good choice. Because northern Thailand in the cool season will be colder in the morning and evening.
