Religion:
About 95% of the Thais are Buddhist. Buddhism is a way of life, which permeates almost everything that the Thais think or do. Actions are usually weighed against Buddha’s teachings to determine whether they are right or wrong. Religious practices, rituals and ceremonies have great influence in the workplace. For example, new businesses have to be blessed by revered monks before they open for business. Large donations are given to temples each year for corporate or individual salvation. It is the culture, which may be viewed as either good or bad, depending on individual’s view on religion.
