How does Buddhism affect your everyday lives in Thailand?

I am doing a project on Thailand. I would like to know more about how Buddhism affects your everyday life.





For example, I thought that Buddhists were more likely to be vegetarian, but a lot of Thai dishes have meat in them. Is there a reason for this?





Any information about your everyday lives, customs and traditions would be very helpful!


Thanks!|||It doesn't. I don't live in Thailand.
