In Thailand most of the Thai people ( 94%) believe in Theravada Buddhism.
Mostly in South Thailand, there are 4% Thai Muslims.
0,6% Christians .
0,1% (mostly Indians) believe in the Hindu religion
Just about 0,4% don´t have a confession.
Animism plays an important role in the spiritual life of Thai people, You´ll hardly find a building without a spirit house in Thailand, but spirit houses have absolutely nothing in common with Buddhism.
