cyrilmadrid Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) The little spirit house on my balcony here at home had an old couple, an elephant and a horse, and some dancers to entertain them. With the cold winters of Europe, they have started to crackle and need replacement. Where can I buy a replacement for them in Bangkok ? Preferably close to Sukhumvit 8 where I stay, or Siam or Sala Daeng where I hang around.As far as I remember, I bought the previous ones in a shop in Chiang Mai selling offering for months, but I am not sure where to find that in Bangkok. Thanks. Edited May 31, 2014 by cyrilmadrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgphuket Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Not sure, but my guess would be at the shops that sell the relifous items, usually outside the temples. Maybe around the temple at Ekamai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Or a place that makes/sells the spirit houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrilmadrid Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Bought it in the night market in Chiang Mai. So I don't think there is a place as such that sells spirit house. At least I never saw it in the centre of Bangkok. Also, last time, it was not so easy to find the little characters, the people at my hotel in CM indicated a little shop indeed close to a temple. Now, where can I find that in Bangkok Centre ? Any concrete indication ?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpuumike Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 There are many places to buy if you keep your eyes open. BUT. You are farang and if at all serious seek local advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catweazle Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 China Town! Usually the shops selling Buddhas and chinese gods statues also sell those "spirit house tenants" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Chinatown in Bangkok, almost certainly, the area dedicated to selling Monks' supplies. Chatuchak also, but that's not close to your suggested area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
