Ghosts in Thailand: some eerie sites to explore

Thailand is known for its beautiful beaches, delicious food, and rich culture, but it also has a dark side. Thai culture has long believed in ghosts, some good, some bad. A large percentage of people in modern life are still afraid of ghosts in Thailand and as such, the country has some infamously haunted and eerie places. Here are a few of the ghostliest places in Thailand, where you might catch a glimpse of a phantom apparition:

The Old Phuket Town Ghost House

Located in the Old Phuket Town area, this abandoned house is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who committed suicide there. Visitors to the house have reported strange noises, unexplained movements, and even the feeling of being watched. Some have even claimed to have seen the ghost herself, often described as a woman with long, flowing hair and a sad expression on her face.

Sathorn Unique Tower

This abandoned skyscraper in Bangkok was once intended to be a luxury condominium, but construction was halted during the 1997 financial crisis and it was never completed. It is now known as one of the most haunted places in the city, with many people claiming to have seen ghosts, heard strange noises, and felt a presence while inside. Some believe the ghosts are the spirits of construction workers who died while working on the building.
