A Buddhist Nation

Thailand is considered a Buddhist nation. From the figures I have heard as much as 95% of the nation considers itself Buddhist. Chiang Mai, where the team is staying, has the second largest number of Buddhist temples in Thailand. It is second only to Bangkok - the capital. This is one of the temples off the famous "Walking Street" market in Chiang Mai.
People leave offerings at the statues of Buddha.
