sead Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 So I bought a nice shrine for my new house. It's 50cm wide and for indoor use. Now my gf says she wants a FK altar outside a house. I said no. So to my q. Is it a must to have both a shrine inside and a FK altar outside the house 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jak2002003 Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 They are two different things. One inside is shrine for ancestors. The little temple one outside is for the spirits. Ask your gf to explain to you. If she wants them she should buy them herself if it's her personal beliefs. Also...you will not like it when the spirit house is installed....then the village spirit witch doctor type guy will come and have some ceremony and burry some things in the ground where he says the spirit house is to go. He has to be paid for his service of course...and it will probably be all going on at some ungodly hour in the morning. Enjoy your Thai relationship. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a must to have both a shrine inside and a FK altar outside the house Is it such a big deal to pay for an outdoor shrine? It won't cost very much, so in my opinion it would be a good "investment" if it keeps your GF happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my inside shrine is a little bit sad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sead Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Ok. So I settled with a small spirit house. 50cm width. And behold. She forgot to tell me that the monks already marked the spot for it 1 year ago. I'm lucky it's on the othe end of house where her old parents will stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be looking forward to the black magic types coming around to advise. Provincially dependent, of course - as it varies from each locale. Never can be too safe. ????

Popular Post ChrisP24 Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 Sounds like two cool things to have. Makes your house more Thai and shows that you are honoring your wife's culture even if you don't share the traditions or beliefs. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
