Description: |
|
Krabi's population is split roughly 60 : 40 into Buddhists and
Muslims, who live peacefully together in a model of religious
tolerance. Muslim communities are concentrated mainly around the
coastal areas, such as Ao Nang and Ao Nam Mao. It is thought the
religion was brought to the south of Thailand by sea gypsies
from Malaysia around 500 years ago.
The Buddhist population
mostly live inland, either in Krabi Town, which is majority
Chinese Buddhist, or in rural areas where they work the land.
There are subtle differences between the lifestyles of each
group; however, for the outsider, it is still fairly easy to
spot whether a village is Muslim or Buddhist, simply by looking
for the presence of a temple or mosque. In Krabi the Central
Mosque is the main mosque of the province. |
