Christianity in Thailand

It was believed by some scholars that Christianity was first introduced to Thailand by European missionaries. By 2021, there were nearly 1 million Christians in Thailand and represented 1.4% of the predominantly Buddhist national population.[1] Christians are numerically and organizationally concentrated in northern Thailand, where they make up an estimated 16% of the population in some lowland districts (e.g., Chomtong, Chiang Mai) and up to very high percentages in tribal districts (e.g., Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son).
