During the recent Golden Week holidays, an influx of Chinese people traveled to Thailand, and a couple of them made headlines in Chinese media for unknowingly snapping vacation pictures with a crematorium at a Thai temple.

 

In the hashtag, “Photo I saved to look at when I’m stressed out,” a Thai user posted a photo of a tourist couple, with the caption, “How do I tell the Chinese people that it’s a crematorium?” with crying laughing emojis.

It is a lovely building. If they do not ask, then don't tell.  Mainlanders do not have the fear of ghosts that the Taiwanese of Hong Kong Chinese have.

A crematorium? And what's in the green garbage bin out front? Please don't tell me. I don't want to know.

这是火葬场

But technically speaking it's actually a 'crematoria' krub. I'm sorry; as I couldn't find the Chinese word for the singular of "crematorium".

Do they put the ashes in the Wheelie Bin?

Crematoriums can not be photographed ?

I feel a new ban coming.

Crematorium is singular, crematoria / crematoriums plural.

Hold a lighter under a Chinese's arse. He/she will understand...

Referred to by locals as an ashhole.

Correct. You would firstly have to have a soul to care about the after life and ghosts!
