The article is a review of my dissertation that the same title study on the question is “what are the roles of Buddhist temple towards the society in Thailand? That some part of study related to history and social of Thais belong to early period of Sukhothai era to early time of Ratanakok period. The Buddhist temple or Thais call “wat” played on the Thai society not only religion dimension but had roles participated education, social, art and cultural. Wat play a role as hospitals and lodging of a traveler. The roles that arise because of monks are spiritual teacher. Thai people respect, it found that the role of education is very important role of Wat in Thailand focused on behaviour and phenomenal companies of Buddhist society in Thailand.
