Re: Definitely Not a Pointless Job - Compilation
This thread is kinda nostalgic, like, a decade ago most stuff here were from southeast Asia, now it's mostly Brazil and South America (not complaining). |

Re: Definitely Not a Pointless Job - Compilation
The majority of ambulance workers in Thailand are not paid – they are volunteers, required only to undertake a two-day first responder training course. When they arrive at the scene of a death they are responsible for taking care of the body until a paid official arrives to move them to the morgue. While undertaking the task they will often take photos to post on Facebook or other social media. “The posing with a dead body is a pride thing, to show that one has helped take care of that body,” Mr Cunningham said. “It’s a pride in doing a job that society generally shuns.” In some of the photographs the ambulance workers can be seen pointing at the corpse. “Pointing at a dead body is just something that has come from pointing to small things in pictures to highlight them,” Mr Cunningham said. “It’s a little strange that the Thais still point at the obvious but [it’s] just something that they have actually picked up from West. |

Re: Definitely Not a Pointless Job - Compilation
Really? I didn’t know that. If so that’s pretty cool that their culture values wanting to ‘help’ the dead enough to get volunteers for a job like this (where they must see all kinds of things that have got to mess with their heads.)
