A spirit house (Burmese:နတ်စင် or နတ်ကွန်း), san phra phum (Thai:ศาลพระภูมิ, Khmer rean tevoda, "place for the tevoda-spirit", or pteah phum, "house for the spirit of the land") is a shrine to the protective spirit of a place that is found in the Southeast Asian countries of Burma, 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 location may be chosen after consultation with a Brahmin priest. The spirit house is normally in the form of a miniature house or temple, and is mounted on a pillar or on a dais.
The house is intended to provide a shelter for spirits that could cause problems for the people if not appeased. 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.
Spirit houses are above-ground structures used by some of the Carrier people of Northern British Columbia (for example, Nazko) for burial rites and rituals. The Spirit Houses contain artifacts family and clan members have deposited for their loved ones life on the other side and they are used to be unknown and have bad spirits in them.
