Buddhism in Thailand - some pictures
Chinese
in South Thailand around Hadyai are often related to
neighbouring Malaysia, but are either Buddhists or
Christians. Hadyai has a huge Chinese presence,
however outside the city many people are Muslim and related to the
Malay. By car the Malaysian border is only 30 minutes away.
