Ghosts in Thailand 2: More Real Than You Might Think

  • Did you know Thailand has ghosts?

That’s right—Thailand isn’t just a land of temples and tropical beaches. It’s also full of ghost stories.

Spirits and the supernatural are deeply rooted in Thai culture, and many locals genuinely believe that ghosts exist and even interact with the living.

  • Ghosts are everywhere

On the streets, in old buildings, even inside homes. Thai ghosts come in all kinds of forms and can be found in many different places.

You’ll hear stories of haunted curves on highways, abandoned hotels, movie theaters, houses, and even old hospitals.

There are even tales of ghosts living in homes that are still occupied. Every ghost has its own background, and every place has its own haunting.

  • Ghost beliefs are part of our culture—and our religion.

Thailand’s belief in spirits goes back centuries. It’s a blend of Buddhism and older animist traditions.

Thai people don’t just worship Buddha—they also respect the spirits of their ancestors, like grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other family members who have passed away.

These spirits are believed to watch over their descendants and homes.
