Thais are devoutly religious and expect visitors to show great respect for their temples, wats and shrines, and all Buddhist images.
Thais and foreigners have long come to Section Five of Wat Mahadhatu to learn mindfulness meditation.
Many modern Thais criticise openly what they perceive to be false developments in the Buddhist order.

There were swallow's nests on many of the overhangs and over the years we frequently observed the Thais climbing the walls of these casts to collect the nests for export to the Pacific rim countries.
Thais love sweet things too, but for the most part Thai cakes and pastries tend to be rather bland for Western tastes.
