Classical Arts of Thailand
The classical arts of Thailand are of a religious nature, created for both Buddhism and Hinduism. They may be largely divided into 2 large epochs: before the political domination of the Thai people and after the Thai supremacy. The first one can be again subdivided into 3 periods, each with its own style.
