Donating my body to medical research when I die

I knew a German guy who donated his body. He had to go to KK teaching hospital. 6 hour round trip to fill the forms out. When he died it was all straight forward in that he was put on ice at the local government hospital before being used. After one year the body is, or it was in this case, taken to the Suranaree University Hospital in Korat where they had a service for family members before being cremated. 

That may have been before the change in policy. Pretty clear they will no longer accept foreign bodies.

They accept farang bodies. And yes, there is a University Hospital in Khon Kaen and likely it has pamphlets explaining the process.

In 2004, there were approximately 4,600 registered body donors — a huge increase when compared to 86 donors 20 years ago. Last year, there were almost 20,000 registered donors — four times higher than a decade ago.
