Mindfulness, deeply rooted in Buddhist traditions, has gained increasing global attention for its potential benefits in various aspects of well-being.

Through a comprehensive review of literature and qualitative analysis, this study explores the nuanced landscape of mindfulness practices in Thailand, elucidating how cultural, religious, and societal factors shape its expression and adoption. By examining historical roots, contemporary applications, and societal perceptions, this research aims to provide insights into the dynamic interplay between mindfulness and Thai cultural ethos, offering implications for the integration of mindfulness-based interventions tailored to the Thai context. Understanding mindfulness within its cultural framework not only enriches the discourse on contemplative practices but also fosters culturally sensitive approaches to well-being promotion in diverse global contexts.
