More about Thai Spirit Houses: It is believed that spirit houses will bring luck, happiness, accomplishment and security for all members of a household for many years to come. It is also believed that when one upgrades or moves to a larger house, one must also upgrade or buy a larger spirit house, lest the spirits leave their own home and come move in with you! Please Note: Entirely hand-carved, no two spirit houses are exactly the same. Each one is a unique work of art.
