Our part-time housekeeper and friend is a local girl in her early 30s who recently won 10,000 baht in the lottery. 

She used all or part of our car license plate number and made a vow to set up a spirit house on our property if she won.

We stepped forward and offered to buy it because we don't like the ornate and garishly colored cement ones.

What we want is Lanna style teak, and not too big.

Has anyone seen a good selection for sale in or near Chiang Mai?

Any information would be appreciated. 

 

Super Highway frontage road just a bit East of Chotanaa Rd, north side, wood shop has ready made

Super highway to Lamphun, about 2 to 3 kms after big TOT building (Padaed intersection). Several shops about 10 m off along the road. Large selection.

Thanks to both of you.

We'll check them out.

Some friends of ours have also mentioned Ban Tawai as a possibility.

Actually I would have thought of it as rather strange for anyone other than the home owner to be allowed to set one up. Whatever one believes or non believes , I don't know of anyone that would allow a non resident of their household to mess with this sort of thing within their property boundary.

We're not "believers" in the same sense that most of the locals are.

In our case it's just decorative and will be a welcome addition to our garden.
