Ceremonial Cleaning of the Dead in Chonburi

People take unclaimed human remains out of a graves during a Thai Chinese ceremony at the Mang Teung Sua Jung Cemetery in Chonburi province southeast of Bangkok. Every decade, hundreds of people wearing white, a customary funerary colour as well as for visiting temples, gather at this cemetery to exhume and cremate corpses as they believe they are helping the dead who have no friends or relatives. The ashes of the unclaimed bodies are spread on the sea to make room at the burial ground for more unclaimed bodies in the coming years. The tradition originated 90 years ago after diseases like Malaria killed many of Thais of Chinese descent living in Chonburi.

Lot of things on this earth can seem really strange if you don't know the story behind them, and some can seem even stranger if you do.

Re: Ceremonial Cleaning of the Dead in Chonburi

that is quite nice of them. but aren't they kind of making it impossible for them to ever be identified? and why are they putting money(?) on that skull and allowing children to be there? LOL

Re: Ceremonial Cleaning of the Dead in Chonburi

What if the reason the person had no friends or family to claim them was because they were the worlds biggest sadistic douchebag or something. You know, like their family was around but all of them said fuck that asshole when he died and left him to rot.
