Tajska je država v jugovzhodni Aziji, ki je bila nekoč del tako imenovane »Zlate dežele« (Suvarnabhumi), z 2600-letno zgodovino in enako dolgo zgodovino budizma na svojih tleh. Budizem, osrednja vera v državi (okoli 93,5 % prebivalstva je verujočih budistov), je torej že dolgo pomemben del življenja tajskega naroda. Vse od začetka 21. stoletja se položaj starejšega prebivalstva po svetu skrbno spremlja in načrtuje – Tajska že 10 let sodi med države s starajočo se družbo. Za uspešno spopadanje z izzivi tovrstne družbe je treba predvsem odgovorno poskrbeti za ustrezno oskrbo ostarelih. V budizmu so starejši ljudje cenjeni zaradi svojih izkušenj in preteklih prispevkov družbi, vera pa tudi uči hvaležnosti. Palijski kanon budizma vsebuje veliko zgodb in naukov tako o vlogi in pomembnosti starejših ljudi kot o starševski skrbi zanje. Namen Budovih naukov je v tem, da človeka spodbujajo k napredovanju v telesnem, moralnem, čustvenem in intelektualnem razvoju in s tem k skrbi za lastno in skupno dobrobit. Tajski budizem sledi idealu sočutja s prizadevanjem za dobrobit starejših.
