Pretty much every Thai house and business has a spirit house. We really wanted to purchase one for our own home, but Paulo, our host in Old Sukhothai, informed us that it's quite a process of siting them and sanctifying them. Basically you need a priest to do the job! He also pointed out that there are different types for home or business (which had escaped our notice till then) and so his guest house actually had both. They were all so ornate I thought maybe they were cast out of plastic. No way. These things are heavy! Made of plaster and/or wood.
