Taken October 2012
This was taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I don’t even remember what the big white building in the background was–some government building. What’s interesting is the teak leaf roofed huts in the foreground. This is the traditional roofing method for a number of the hill-tribe people in that area. We saw such roofs in both Karen and Hmong villages.

DAILY PHOTO: Rural Shrine Near Maewang, Thailand
In Thailand, there’s a temple everywhere.
If you’ve been to Southeast Asia, you’ve probably seen gleaming golden temples even in remote, impoverished portions of the countryside . However, when it comes to the really off-the-beaten path areas occupied by just a few hill tribe farmers, one might think they’d be forced to hoof it to the nearest big shiny temple. Not so. There are little shrines like this one, marked by saffron cloth tied to trees, out in the middle of the jungle.
