Superstition and tradition play an important role in many aspects of Thai life, and the ancient ritual of spirit worship is evident throughout the country.
The placing of spirit houses outside businesses, public buildings and private homes is to provide a shelter for the spirits - and daily offerings of flowers, incense and food are made to keep the spirits in good humour.
Southeast Asia correspondent Karen Percy examines a tradition, which has continued to strengthen in modern times despite being practised for hundreds of years.
