Foreigner Filmed Taking Offerings from Phuket Spirit Houses

A foreign man was recorded on CCTV removing food and a bottled drink from a spirit house outside a home in Phuket’s Kata area. The footage showed him changing direction toward the shrine and appearing to check whether anyone was watching before collecting the offerings. He then approached a second spirit house nearby but walked away after discovering that it contained no food. Online reactions were divided, with some viewers describing the incident as theft and others suggesting that feeding someone in need could be considered a charitable act. Numerous commenters responded humorously by warning that the spirits might follow the man home to retrieve their offerings.
