BoganInParasite Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Useful, thanks for posting. While I leave it to the Thai wife to believe in all this stuff I've come up to speed on the appropriate way we need to follow to move/dispose of an existing wooden spirit house on our land and the installation of a decent concrete platform and the new houses in the north east corner of our land. The wife seemed quite put out recently when I suggested to her that these beliefs and spirit houses did not derive from Buddhism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foexie Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I have been visiting many temples and see many of these spirit houses but, fortunatly, never seen one what's been offered meat. Think this will give a very awful smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unblocktheplanet Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Simple, really. There are spirits in the land before you got there. Your dwelling displaced them so you provide them with a place to live and feed them. San means law court in Thai. 'Spirit house' is san pra phum. Thais say san pra phum is the only court you can trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
