Budaísmo en Bangkok

La mayoría (93 por ciento) de la población de la ciudad es budista.

Rama I (reinado de 1782 a 1809) de la Dinastía Chakri (que sigue siendo la actual familia real de Tailandia) fundó el Reino de Rattanakosin.

Bajo el reinado de Rama I, se construyeron nuevos en la nueva capital de Rattanakosin (la actual Bangkok), como el templo real, Wat Phra Kaew, donde se encuentra el Buda Esmeralda.

Durante el reinado de Rama VII (1925–1935), se celebró un consejo budista en Bangkok.

Este consejo resultó en la publicación de una nueva edición del Canon Pali, que fue distribuida por todo el país.

Hoy en día, Bangkok es uno de los sitios de peregrinación budista más visitados en el sudeste asiático.
