This essay frames Thai Buddhism so as to account for its intimacy with power. Drawing from current scholarly debates and ethnographic data, it demonstrates the obvious, yet obscure(d): Thai Buddhism cannot be conceived of as disfranchised from the accumulation of political influence and material wealth, as power is a constitutive part of its history, makeup, continued appeal and relevance in the contemporary world.

This essay frames Thai Buddhism so as to account for its intimacy with power. Drawing from current scholarly debates and ethnographic data, it demonstrates the obvious, yet obscure(d): Thai Buddhism cannot be conceived of as disfranchised from the accumulation of political influence and material wealth, as power is a constitutive part of its history, makeup, continued appeal and relevance in the contemporary world.
