To make sure that the holy spirits are happy, the owners put coins, amulets and colourful stones in the bottom of it. Incense is burnt and an invited monk prays and blesses the place, where a new house will stand. After the house was completed, the Soa Ake will be patched with gold foils, anointed with fragrance powder, wrapped with flower garlands, and one three-color taffeta to worship the holy spirits in the Sao Ake.
