House number numerology
In Thailand, many people check a house, flat or room number before moving in. The usual method is simple: add up all the digits, ignoring the slash in numbers such as 99/9, and keep adding until one digit is left. Different traditions read that digit in their own way, so this page shows them side by side, together with the eight feng shui house types.
