Thailand-Religion as a major tourist draw card

Tourism is an increasingly important component of the economies of many countries. For some countries including Thailand, it is a major source of income and overseas investment. The rising world trend of religious tourism has reached Southeast Asia with Thailand emerging as the nucleus for Buddhism. Religious tourism is a major source of revenue for Thailand and important to the Thai economy. Interest has spread from standard temple tours to meditation courses and retreats both in Bangkok – the home of the World Fellowship of Buddhists – and rural locales and is usually incorporated in your package for Thailand. Classes covering a range of techniques and stays in sanctuaries can run from 10 days to a month.

The Chiang Mai region of Northern Thailand has over 60 historic Wats, with the earliest Wats constructed in the 14th century. The Buddhist church owns all of the WATS. Most of them have residences for monks and are used for religious, educational and community services. Strictly speaking a wat is a Buddhist sacred precinct with monks' quarters, the temple proper, and an edifice housing a large image of Buddha, and a structure for lessons. Packages Thailand give a brief overview of the Buddhist monastery/wat architecture even if a visit is not possible.Thai residents often take pride in their culture and religion and want to share their enthusiasm with outsiders. However, occasionally, tourists disrupt religious practices and increase maintenance problems. The sheer numbers of tourists at Thailand heritage sites causes physical and social impacts. When there are too many tourists, these places lose their sense of spirituality; they shift from being sacred to secular places.
