Thailand's Spirit

Throughout Thailand, one can see miniature houses standing next to homes, businesses, hotels, and even high-rise office buildings. These small structures are called spirit houses. Spirit houses are miniature dwelling places for invisible helpful spirits. Some say spirit houses are built for the spirits, such as guardian angels, that live in the land. Others believe the spirits own the land and must be given a better place to live than the house or building that will be built. Besides, individual spirit houses protecting homes, towns and cities each have their own protective spirit houses. Even the bustling city of Bangkok has a kind of spirit house that occupies an entire city block. It holds s a large pillar that marks the geographical center of the city.

Spirit houses show respect for the spirits of the land. People must care for the spirits of the land, because the spirits are believed to protect people, grant their wishes, and bring them good luck and good health. In exchange, the spirits are given shelter, foods and gifts. Many Thai people believe that each and every place has a local spirit or guardian, and the spirit possesses saksit,or a special power.
