What to places on the mainland of southeast Asia later converted to Buddhism?

Answer 1

Two significant places on the mainland of Southeast Asia that later converted to Buddhism are Thailand and Myanmar. Thailand, originally influenced by animism and Hinduism, saw the adoption of Theravada Buddhism around the 13th century, which became the dominant religion. Similarly, Myanmar, which had a diverse religious landscape including indigenous beliefs and Hinduism, embraced Theravada Buddhism in the 11th century, profoundly shaping its culture and society. Both countries continue to be central to the practice and spread of Buddhism in the region today.
