Thailand: A shop selling Buddha statuettes in Nong Khai in northeastern Siam in 1920.

Buddhism in Thailand is largely of the Theravada school. Nearly 95% of Thailand's population is Theravada Buddhist, though Buddhism in this country has become integrated with folk beliefs as well as Chinese religions from the large Thai-Chinese population. Buddhist temples in Thailand are characterized by tall golden stupas, and the Buddhist architecture of Thailand is similar to that in other Southeast Asian countries, particularly Cambodia and Laos, with which Thailand shares cultural and historical heritage.
