Jewish cemetery burials ordered to be removed

I guess the one which operated without a license for 30 years is the final resting place for the 1000+ burials which have been extensively talked about on certain youtube channels.

Not sure how reliable that is but it's not the same place. Now that one is going to cause a very big problem if it's been operating for 30 years.

Why was it given a license in 2021 if then they didnt comply with legal requirements?

oh wait, it was the brown envelope with many monies inside that didnt flow to the right hands 🤣

on a serious note, for sure it was never supposed to be opened anyways.

The cemetery operator received a licence in 2021 and applied to renew it when it expired in 2023. However, an inspection by the district chief and other agencies found that construction at the site did not comply with legal requirements, including rules on its distance from roads and rivers.

Renewing a license for a cemetery every two weeks or three years that’s ridiculous what is it just the Money grab once they OK a cemetery should be there for life and the religion when they bury you that’s it that’s your place for the rest of the life they can’t remove a cemetery in the Jewish law without removing all the bodies

Sympathy to the families involved. But didn't they get death certificates? I'm not clear on that - and yes, that might have nothing to do with the Amphur refusing the cemetery license, or maybe it does.

Will this also apply to Muslim cemeteries?

Probably depends on whether they are properly licensed or not, comply with relevant laws and whether anyone complains.

Mmmm, the only people who are 'special' in Thailand are Thais.

Some Thais anyrway.

But f-rangs moving to Thailand need to be aware if they aren't already that our rights in Thailand are very limited indeed.

It's one of the trade offs people make but the way things are developing here there are stronger reasons to decide the trade offs aren't worth it.

As usual in Thailand very very slowly. No brown envelopes hence no interest

From day 1 I have always accepted that, as a farang, I am lower than a soi dog in Thailand. When one accepts this, Thailand just becomes a product, and when you no longer like the product, you stop buying / paying for it and move elsewhere.

In any case in my opinion Thailand is going through a very extended phase of politically motivated hyper nationalism. That's pretty much ugly by definition.

That's less than pleasant if you're not Thai and/or connected to the power structure here.

Hopefully things will eventually swing back to more calm waters but I'm making no predicttions.

A personal anecdote. The one time in my life that I visited Greece the people were enraged over a naming issue with Macedonia (which became North Macedonia). Without even speaking Greek you could feel the ugly vibes on the street.

Not saying it has gotten that ugly here. Perhaps Greeks are more hot headed.
