YWAM Thailand - Helping Thais reach their destiny in Christ



Sky TrainThailand's Central Region consists of 22 provinces, 26 if the eastern provinces are included. Currently, YWAM Thailand is working in 5 of these provinces. It is the country's most fertile land rich in rice farms and fruit orchards. The region also abounds in tourist attractions which lie prominently on both natural resources and historical ancient remains.

The Chao Phyraya Valley in Central Thailand is the most densely populated area of the country, supporting between 800 to 1,000 people per cultivated square mile (in 1960). This area, which comprises 30 percent of Thailand's land area, contains 40 percent of the country's total population. The major religion in Thailand is Theravada Buddhism; only a small percentage of the population is Muslim, Christian, Hindu, or Confucian. Religion is the dominant force in Thai life, and the people devote much time and money to festivals, rituals, and merit-making. The temple symbolizes their religion, and Buddhist monks are held in high esteem. Buddhist values have such an important role in Thai culture that they can be found in the mores, arts, literature, metaphysics, and so on. Animism is also prevalent, and this belief permeates Thai Buddhism.
