Culture & Religion

The population of the province is predominantly Buddhist. In rural areas people tend to be very devout, and their belief system includes elements of animism and ancestor worship. Along the intensively developed gulf coast many people practice a more secular form of Buddhism, but still honor the precepts and rituals. The large and influential Thai-Chinese minority also follows the teachings of the Buddha, as well as venerating Taoist and Confucian shrines and sacred places.
