    When Thai people build their houses or inhabit a new place of residence, they always provide a spirit house for the guardian spirits to live. A sacred ceremony is performed to respectfully invite the guardian spirits to come inhabit the spirit house. The guardian spirits bring luck, happiness, accomplishment, and security for all members of the household. Placed either inside their house, or outside near the front door, Thai people believe the guardian spirits will protect against evil spirits or enemies who might threaten the family or their home. A daily offering of food or drink is made to the guardian spirits and placed in the spirit house. This is usually done before the first meal of the day. The offering consists of whatever food the family is eating that day.

  • Charming

    We've wanted a Thai Spirit House for a long time, and were happy to find one at Overstock. It is charming. When it arrived, however, there were 2 "wings" that had to be attached, and no indication as to where they should go. They were not shown in the display photo. We finally figured out that they go on the front and back of the house, near the roof.

  • Good quality for money

    I'm happy with the purchase. The inside is relatively rough and unfinished, and the outside has a waxy feel that make me wonder if it will get dirty/tacky over time. The quality is good and a decent value. Easily blends in with other nick knacks. Other sizes can be overwhelming.

  • Spirit house

    This was shipped directly to a friend. She said that it came disassembled, with no directions, and last we heard she could not put it together.

  • spirit house

    The spirit house is indeed small, especially in comparison to many of the spirit houses I saw in Thailand. It also isn't white like I usually saw. On the other hand, I do no use a spirit house to protect my household so I small spirit house that reminds me of Thailand and the spirituality of the Thai people is well served by this small spirit house. I like it very much and am pleased it arrived safely.

  • Required assembly

    This is a great product, but it is not packed with any protective wrapping and, therefore, arrived with part of it broken off in the box. If one was expecting to do some assembly, then it might be OK.
