why is the spirit house important for thai people?
Thai people don’t really care that these spirit houses are totally out of Buddhism. Worship of spirits came to our days from times when nobody heard about Buddha. The funny thing is that sometimes you can see a spirit house at Wat’s territory.
So, why does everybody have the spirit house nearby his home?
Easy – Thai people build spirit houses, so spirits will live there. It’s believed that if there is no spirit house, spirits will come and stay in the main house with people and will make a lot of troubles and problems to humans in the house.
