Shinto in Thailand

Shinto, the traditional religion of Japan, has a presence in Thailand, albeit on a much smaller scale than its origin country. The practice of Shinto outside Japan, known as Overseas Shinto, often arises from the Japanese diaspora and the establishment of shrines in foreign lands. In Thailand, one such example is the Sriracha Shinto Shrine, which serves as a cultural and spiritual touchpoint for the Japanese community. This shrine aims to promote Japanese traditions and foster a connection between Thailand and Japan, reflecting a broader cultural exchange trend and spreading religious practices beyond their native borders. While Shinto is not widely practised among Thais, these shrines offer a unique insight into Japanese culture and spiritual practices for those interested.
