There are countless gods and other celestial beings in Thai folklore, The primary spirits the Thai's are concerned with, however, are called the Phra Bhum Jowthee , or Guardian Spirits of the Land, There are nine of guardians and each offers a different type of protection. The Guardian of the House and the Guardian of the Gardens are so frequently consulted with and prayed to that they are the only two that have permanent spirit houses built for them.
Offerings are left at the house every morning to propitiate the spirits. Food such as chicken, cookies and sweet desserts are offered as well as drinks such as tea, bottles of Fanta soda (with straws). Incense and candles are lit, flowers are set in place and all food offerings should be on the table in front of the spirit house.
The houses are finished with statues, small figures, or symbols of many other sorts in the center within the spirit house. In addition, there may be various animal figures, such as elephants or hones; figures of people, such as a married couple or other images; and even furniture. Outside, around the balcony that usually surrounds a spirit house, incense holders, candle sticks, and vases for flowers are placed.

How big should a spirit house be? Well, the more important the house or business is, the more prominent and elaborate the spirit house will be. For example, the head offices of a Thai bank or a large embassy will have a very large spirit house, in fact probably a few. Some very famous ones such as the one that houses the Chiang Mai City Pillar are large enough to walk into.

The Spirit House is one of the most fundamental features of Thai life even today and one of the most obvious. In Thailand devotion to Buddhism often shows itself in ritual within a temple while Thai devotion to the spirits and especially the Guardians of the land, shows itself in their own front gardens.
