A Spirit House is a small shrine commonly found in many Southeast Asian cultures, particularly in Thailand. It is designed to honor and provide a home for spirits, often believed to be the spirits of ancestors or local deities. These structures can vary in size and design, typically featuring a small house-like structure placed on a pedestal, adorned with offerings such as flowers, food, and incense. The purpose of a Spirit House is to create a harmonious relationship between the living and the spiritual world. People often place these houses near their homes or businesses, believing that doing so will bring good fortune and protection. The practice reflects the deep-rooted spiritual beliefs in the importance of respecting and appeasing spirits.
