Hmm...barely newsworthy - no surprise there.

If it did I would.

You are not one who cares much about 'principles'.

That's gibberish cr4p. Nothing embarrassing about eating at Kiss or Cheap Charlie's.

Good timing for this:- Expat funerals in Pattaya have become much more expensive https://www.pattayamail.com/news/expat-funerals-in-pattaya-have-become-much-more-expensive-467725

Your computer does not have Google? It really can save asking embarrassing questions.

You are not the first person to say that. But as I said to that person, I would not order a 199 Baht steak there - or anywhere for that matter. Cheap Charlies has it's own specialism - bog standard dishes, well prepared/presented and very good value........ a western equivalent of Kiss Food & Drink.

In this case the autopsy was being performed in Bangkok. I was previously told that they do NOT automatically do an autopsy on a Farang; in this case the deceased was 77 years old, with underlying health conditions, so I am really surprised that was necessary.

I know 3 people who thought that they would be smart doing that - all 3 were rejected for the reasons mentioned above.

Indeed. A much easier task when you have some idea of the temples that have performed 'low cost' cremations. That is the whole point of this thread so that I, and others, can pass on such information.,

Not in the last 6 years..............but I take your point.

Or frozen off......that worked for me.

I think there is a market for something like 'Direct cremations' - a simple burn with a single monk saying a few words, no guests, and the ashes get handed back.................all for, say, 30,000 Baht.

A friend who lives on the Darkside died this week and his wife is looking a temple to perform a cheap and cheerful cremation. There are no family members around and a limited circle of friends so a low-key/low cost cremation is the objective. Does anyone have experience of local temples that would fit the bill.

I guessed that........😉

It is not because it is a 'benefit' though - the freezing is down to reciprocal tax agreements. Although it is classed as a 'benefit' it is treated differently - and does have the feel of an entitlement based on contributions.
