Stock Photo - 12 March 2019, Thailand, Karon Beach: A ghost house (San Phra Phum) with offerings stands on the beach of Karon Beach. The shrines are erected when a new house is built to offer a new home to the earth spirits on the property and so appease them. This belief in the spirits does not come from Buddhism but from the old animistic faith in Thailand. Ghost houses are also set up on roads that are prone to accidents in order to give a home to the restless ghosts of the accident victims. Also in special places, trees and rocks one sets up the small cottages. Photo: Alexandra Schuler/dpa. - Karon Beach/Phuket/Thailand
