PomMahakanRenovations
11 MAY 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Spirit Houses in Pom Mahakan. Spirit houses are traditionally built near homes and buildings in Thailand for the spirits of the property. The final evictions of the remaining families in Pom Mahakan, a slum community in a 19th century fort in Bangkok, have started. City officials are moving the residents out of the fort. NGOs and historic preservation organizations protested the city's action but city officials did not relent and started evicting the remaining families in early March. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
