Thailand side note...we saw these little things everywhere we went. At first I thought they were shrines. Our guide at the Jim Thompson house told use they are little houses for the spirits who used to live in the land now occupied by your house. So when a house or building or roadside attraction or waterfall (with human adaptations made to it) is built or modified in anyway, a new home is created for the displaced spirit.
This spirit requires food, flowers and drinks as well.
