Thailand: An elaborate spirit house in the garden of a large private house next to the Ping River, Chiang Mai.
Many Thai people believe that every house should have its own spirit house providing for the well-being of the locality spirit (chao thii). These may be anywhere in the garden (even, in big cities, on the roof), with the important proviso that the shadow of human habitation should never fall on the spirit house, the home of the original and true owner of the land – the chao thii.
