What Provisions have you made for Disposal of your Body in Thailand, when the Time Comes? Have you even thought about it?

Imagine, donating a brain from a 90 year old farang and transplanting it, into one of the Government officials and suddenly, some intelligent decisions would be made.

 

No way, they will accept a farang body.

That brain could reject the body

Cremate my <deleted> at the local Wat.

Big magnificent tamboon. 

Huge gathering of people. The more cash offerings to the family and extended family, the better. 

It's all about death and profiteering.

 

Afterward, a large wake-like drunken celebratory at the house. 

No one's turn away. 

 

Peace.

I'll be back in the next life.

You will return to TV, even from the afterlife! 

 

Such a thing as this has occurred time, and time, again. 

 

No one knows if a poster might be 6 feet under, unless the cadaver dogs provide TV with the smell test. 

 

I hope you have 35 or 53 years to go 

 

TV cannot afford to lose even one good writer. 

 

Eat more steamed brocalli, vitamin D, zinc, and Stilton cheese.

Madam has also selected a nice resting place for us both with a view of the river.

Was that difficult to arrange? What was the general price? I went to one of those and instantly fell in love with the process.

Madam dealt with the entire process so I really don't know what it entailed or even the value of the "donation", sorry. It would be rude to ask her.

 

Meanwhile, with the current state of the river I may need to be cremated with my scuba gear :whistling:

just throw me into a hole that a backhoe has intentionally dug for me, preferably in my home town, toss some dirt on top, make sure there's no rusty bottle tops or cans mixed in,  place a couple of roses on top and say ' geeeze '  he was alright'   we're gunna miss ya,  and then everyone can hit the p_iss.

As other more informed posters have already clearly stated, it seems that existing rules do not allow one to enter this type of program by which one can contribute to Physiology learning at med schools here, if one is not Thai. 

 

Why this is so, has not been explained here. 

 

If you might wish to pursue this admirable personal choice further, then... 

 

Call Tamassat, Chula, CMU and inquire. 

 

Certainly, you would be helping students, if you can find the way. 

 

Maybe you might check organ donation, depending upon your age. 

 

Call Chula in Bangkok. 

 

The telephone operators at Chula speak English. And, they are smart.

The only question is:  Which university will I choose, if I have a choice.

McDonalds university.

 

If you are recyclable at all they will find a way. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that the next time you are seen in public it will be in a cozy bun bed with a  portion of fries.

I posted here about 2 years ago asking how to arrange that, but not much guidance resulted from my post.

 

In the US my Driver's License shows me as an Organ Donor, and if I was living there I would arrange something with a Medical School.

 

Once there is some sort of new normal and I can see the Visa situations in a few SEA countries and decide which one I will predominately reside in, I will look into arranging both of these wishes.

Here's one way to be an organ donor:

 

On the Howard Stern show during one of their roasts, Sal the Stockbroker was speaking of Baba Booey:

"When Gary's father died his father donated his organs.

Not the ones in his body. The ones he would grind while Gary danced in the street".

Think it is more important, to make sure adequate funds are available for your loved one,  to use when the time comes.

Hospital bills, transportation costs, police,  probate, ect.

Many things can go wrong with your perfect plans.

We don't get to book a time, place or situation for our demise.

Don't be a dead beat Falang after your death, 

get the dosh sorted out for it all, before you go.

( but not to much ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.

Local temple for me,  no party,  keep the dosh for herself.

( most likely she will have party when i'm gone ) just for big face syndrome. :giggle:

That's a bit extreme.

Cremation - that would be mainstream.
Decomposition as fertiliser - a bit more radically green, reduce, reuse, recycle.

 

But barbecue at the local Wat?
I am not sure I would want to live in that community.
I am not sure I would want to hitch-hike through it...

My remains will travel to the local wat for BBQing on the back of a rusty old pick up. (they use the same one every time, rich or poor it makes no difference)

 

There will be 2 pieces of titanium in there as well from an old fracture. I'm not sure what the melting point is though.

 

The village communal insurance will pay for it, so at least my wife won't out-of-pocket when I finally fade away. If they want to have a party, that's up to them.

Generally, disposing of other people’s bodies is more troublesome than your own.  
 

edit: I learnt that from the film “The Legend of Barney Johnson”, not personal experience, officer.
