God Of The Arts. And many things such as wealth, power, the removal of obstacles. My favorite is God of no worries. The Hindu elephant man God Ganesh is loved and worshipped by Thais. This one resides in a shrine in front of a beer garden on Soi 5, popular with expats who had to visit the Chonburi Immigration Office a few doors away. #thailife #thailand #ganesha #artphoto #photoart #streetphotography #shrine #sepia #jomtienpattaya

Phra Mae Thorani. Holy Mother Of Earth. I prefer the Burmese name “Wathondara”. She lives outside beauty salons, massage parlors, and beer gardens, attracting generous customers. #thailife #thailand #artphoto #photoart ,#streetphotography

Fairy Iris. A butterfly landed on my nose. As I gently waved him off, it turned into a little brown fairy. I chased him down a side alley where it landed in a bramble. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I reached out to touch, when he shape shifted into this beautiful flower.

Spiritual House Insurance. A sepia version of these spirit house guests. They entertain the ghosts, keeping them happy and contented so as not to spook the living. #thailife #thailand #artphoto #photoart #streetphotography #sepia #spirithouse #curios #icons #idols #animism #spirituality

Four Kindred Spirits. They’ve joined dozens of others lost souls under the sacred banyan tree in the back of the parking lot at sleazy Rompho Plaza. #thailife #thailand #jomtienpattaya #spirits #spirithouse #animism #artphoto #photoart #streetphotography #nightphotography #sepia
