This is expected to further strengthen religious tourism and attract more Thai visitors to Sri Lanka’s revered Buddhist sites.
During their visit, the team explored several iconic religious and cultural landmarks in Sri Lanka, including, Sri Maha Bodhi, Ruwanwelisaya, Mihinthale, Dambulla Cave Temple, Alu Viharaya in Matale, the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya and Deepaduttarama Raja Maha Viharaya.
This initiative not only emphasizes the importance of religious tourism but also helps forge deeper connections between the people of Thailand and Sri Lanka through their shared Buddhist heritage.
