Spirit House in Huay Xai (Hoksay), Laos

Nov. 10, 2014

A spirit house is a shrine to the protective spirit of a place that is found in the Southeast Asian countries of Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Most houses and businesses have a spirit house placed in an auspicious spot, most often in a corner of the property.

The spirit house is normally in the form of a miniature house or temple, and is mounted on a pillar or on a dais (a low platform for a lectern, seats of honor, or a throne). The shrines often include images of people and animals. Votive offerings are left at the house to propitiate the spirits. More elaborate installations include an altar for this purpose.
