Almost every building seems to have a shrine, or spirit house.
Previously, the latter were often made from timber,
now the concrete ones are ubiquitous. In larger sites, like
temples & ruins, people leave smaller figures, & flowers.
Near Sukhothai, my next stop after Bangkok, when the tuk-tuk
driver realised I take photographs of 'everything', he showed
me a place where you can leave old spirit houses or statues,
as you're not supposed to just destroy them.
Since my budget didn't run to guides, there were many mysteries..
