Agreed.  Not too many Buddha following 'Buddhists' in Thai Buddhism. And much that passes as Buddhism in Thailand is actually Animism.  The corruption, and lack of respect for percepts, and the convolution of the teachings is pretty much killing the Dharma.

Not unique to Thailand. The grifters will jump in anywhere a baht can be turned.
