A spirit house is a shrine to provide shelter for spirits which otherwise might cause mischief for humans if not appeased. Common throughout Southeast Asia, most houses and businesses have a spirit house placed in an auspicious spot selected by a Buddhist monk. Food and incense offerings are placed at the house to satisfy the spirits.
