Most residences in Thailand have a Spirit House. It’s a small appealing spot on the corner of the property where the spirits can reside when they’re not in the heavens.

The spirits are finicky and mischievous creatures, demanding a lot of respect and capable of disastrous interferences if they don’t get their way. It’s customary to leave them an offering every morning, whether it be a glass of soda pop, some flowers, or a little bit of breakfast.
