By going online, consumers can make merit without travelling from home and send prayers anytime safely and securely.
Director of the Office of National Buddhism, Mr. Narong Song-arom, says, “Working with IsWhere allows us to go quickly to market to support digitization of Buddhism. In the near future, Temples themselves can upload content, videos and their own charity campaign and consumers can easily find more information and everything about each temple online. To support this project, IsWhere will be a digital media channel connecting Buddhism. ONAB invites all Thais and corporates to kindly support the digital temple project through donations at iswhere.com/onab. All funds received will be used to administer and support this project and excess funds donated to the Phutthamonthon fund for public usage and to be a center of digital Buddhism”.

We welcome sponsors to help us roll out the technology to make this historical project a success for ONAB and all the temples across Thailand.
