In the early centuries of the Common Era, the people in various parts of Southeast Asia came to know of Buddhism as a result of increased contact with the Indian merchants who had come to the region to trade. These merchants not only established trading stations in Southeast Asia, but also brought their religions and cultures with them.
Buddhism is an effort to reform Hinduism, as much as Protestantism is an effort to reform Catholicism. So the main reason why Buddhism spread would have been discontent with the abuses of Hinduism, specifically the Hindu Caste System.
