Chon Buri Cremation Worker Uses Coffin to Prove Fuel Request Was Genuine

A cremation worker in Chon Buri caused a stir after bringing a coffin containing a deceased person to a petrol station to show he genuinely needed diesel for a funeral. The man had earlier been refused fuel in containers because staff feared it might be for hoarding during the shortage. He later returned with the body in a hearse, along with fuel cans to demonstrate that the diesel was needed for cremation rather than stockpiling. After staff checked the situation and consulted the station manager, they agreed to fill the containers. The unusual episode quickly gained attention as a vivid example of how the fuel crunch is affecting even essential services.
