  What a beautiful shot. Does the 'house of sprits' have some particular significance?

  "In Thailand, a spirit house is a miniature temple set atop a pedestal, containing miniature figures representing a guardian spirit and its servants. They are common in gardens and outside of office buildings. The purpose of the Spirit House is to provide an appealing shelter for the spirits, or celestial beings, who would otherwise reside in the heavens. Before a spirit house can be built and placed, a Brahmin priest must be consulted and proper ceremonies must be performed. One generally pays respect to the spirit by making an offering of flowers, lit incense, food or water." -Everything2.com
