Wat’s the Deal with Bangkok? 5 Temples You Shouldn’t Miss

Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand. The area has been the capital since before the country was even referred to as Thailand. It’s also the most populous city in Thailand with a population of more than 10.5 million people. Statistically speaking, the vast majority of that population will practice some form of Buddhism, likely Theravada Buddhism, with current estimates positing that more than 93 percent of the Thai population being Buddhist. Theravada Buddhism is the state religion of Thailand, as per the Thai constitution. The king, by law, is required to be Theradava Buddhist. As such, it should come as no surprise that the capital has quite the collection of Buddhist temples (wats), many of which are open to the public and have become tourist attractions. <a href="https://medium.com/@BangkokWomen/temples-bangkok-thailand-e210ddd9d597">Click Here</a>
