Bang Saphan is a quiet fishing harbour with good rail and road links to both Bangkok and Chumphon, it dominates an attractive bay, Ao Bang Saphan. Like nearby Ban Krut, Bang Saphan’s beaches (at Bang Saphan Yai and, 16km or 10 miles to the south, Bang Saphan Noi) appeal mainly to a mid-range group of local and Bangkok Thais seeking peace and quiet away from the big cities.

Many Thai people believe that every house should have its own spirit house providing for the well-being of the locality spirit. These may be anywhere in the garden (even, in big cities, on the roof), with the important proviso that the shadow of human habitation should never fall on the spirit house, the home of the original and true owner of the land – the <i>chao thii</i>.<br/><br/> Naturally, this belief extends to shops and commerce as well. Scarcely a business in Thailand – from corner shop to multinational – is without at least one, and often two spirit houses. The first of these, raised on a pillar or in some high place, is purely Thai in origin. The second, generally to be found on the ground and decorated with Chinese characters and images of Confucian or Taoist sages, is purely Chinese and represents the pre-eminent position of Thai-Chinese in the world of commerce.
