Timeworn and Weather-Beaten, but Still Colourful and Beautiful … Chiang Mai – Colourful Photography

[majes.tytyty]

As per my previous post on the subject, spirit houses such as this one are located everywhere in Thailand.

Shiny new ones

The most prominent spirit houses are the large, new ones. Usually situated outside a new office building or a mall, they are strong, sturdy, well-lacquered, and rather shiny.  

Weather-beaten, time-worn, colorfully decorated ones

But the big, new, shiny spirit houses are far outnumbered by the small, old ones. Those smaller ones are generally found at the entrances to homes, many of which are a few decades old.  Consequently, those old spirit houses are often quite weather-beaten, time-worn, dilapidated, and even a bit rickety.

Location – Chiang Mai, on Google Maps

Nevertheless, they are almost always taken care of, and in fact, well-tended. Rarely are they allowed to fall into complete disrepair. There’s often some ritual offerings on the nearby tables, as well as some pleasing decorations, such as garlands of flowers or colorful fabric drapery.       This is my entry in @juliank’s Colourful Photography contest.

Dear sir!
Such houses are symbols of faith and purity. Thailand's Chiang Mai is found not only in the city but in homes of all countries, houses of such religious beliefs are found. Such houses have been built since the time of the ancestors. With the help of such houses, happiness, peace, prosperity remain in the house and God dwells in the house. These homes seem to be exactly as the temple.
