Abstract
Up to now, the Thai people in the Northern
mountainous region have maintained religious practices based on traditional
polytheism, worshiping various gods, ancestors, and spirits. However, in the
context of modern society, under the impact of industrialization, modernization
of agriculture and rural areas, market economic development, and broad cultural
exchange and integration, forms of traditional belief have been undergoing
transformations according to different trends. This transformation in beliefs,
on the one hand, contributes to enriching the spiritual life of the Thai ethnic
group, but on the other hand, it is also raising many issues for the management
of religion and beliefs within the ethnic group. The paper will discuss some of
the transformations in the religious life of the Thai ethnic group in the
Northern mountainous region today.
