    Tradition manifests most visibly in religious and temporal architecture, folk customs, attire, cuisine, dialect and regional festivals.

    The vast majority of the people are engaged in rice cultivation. And the Buddhist temple remains the focal point of every village.
    As the site of ordinations,
    cremations,
    'merit-making' ceremonies celebration Buddhist holy days,
    personal milestones,
    and the local meeting place.
    Young and old alike participate in celebrations such as the Baisri welcoming ceremony, for honored guests, and which is also commonly featured in rural wedding and ordination ceremonies.
