Now then the serious business of the 'Spirit House' These erections are not to be taken lightly. No sirree. They are everywhere and come in all shapes and sizes. They contain all manner of things from Toys, fruit, drink and flowers, whatever the chosen Deity desires. They are in every bar and building. They show a mark of respect to himself and all he stands for. Wobetide to anyone who mocks and bewails them.
A 'Wai' (sort of Buddha salute) must be given when passing on of these stations. The colours relate to a specific day of the week and a different Deity may be involved in a different Spirit House. Many of the Indian and Chinese gods are worshipped in Thailand.
