Buddhist Temple

Thai people are followers of Buddha. They worship and pay their homage to their God. They are highly impressed with Buddha's teaching that's why they live as monk in a monastery one time in his life for at least 3 months.

In order to follow his teaching, there is at least one Buddhist temple in each Thai village. One can see a number of temples in city. All of their temples reflect the faith of Thai people in religion.

Thai law has a number of special sections concerning religious offences and these cover not only Buddhism, the religion of the majority of the people, but also other faiths represented in the kingdom. It is, for instance, unlawful to commit any act, by any means whatsoever, to an object or a place of religious worship of any community in a manner likely to insult the religion.

Similarly, "whoever causes any disturbance at an assembly lawfully engaged in the performance of religious worship of religious ceremonies" is subject to punishment, as well as "whoever dresses or uses a symbol showing that he is a monk or novice, holyman or clergyman of any religion unlawfully in order to make another person believe he is such person."
