Yai's final farewell..

[sipi]

An update on my previous thread "Repatriating human remains to Thailand". (If you missed it don't worry)

Yai's ashes were successfully repatriated to Chiang Mai from Australia without a hitch. She had a basic family funeral..

After the ceremonies I was expecting her remains to be interned in a lovely colored Baan Noi at the local Wat where we could tip water on her at Songkran, or perhaps floated away at sunset on the River Ping on a banana-leaf boat adorned with flowers and candles.

I was surprised and somewhat entertained when she was farewelled with a bang.

Way to go Yai!

She may Rest in Peace.

You ugly so and so, how did you manage to get such a beautiful wife?

Aiew is a friend, not my wife.

Having said that, my wife is beautiful, and I have no idea how I managed it...

and forgot to add:i am pretty certain that a large number of us is asking the same question....

Gosh, Costas. You surely have that knack at "foot in mouth" disease.

My wife heard me hyperventilating in the computer room and rolling on the floor in laughter and came in to investigate. I showed her Costas post.

Now she is rolling on the floor and hyperventilating. "Aiew fancies you hansum man? Not darling, not".

We have a sense of humor.

Sometimes I tolerate Costas, other times I could almost like him; like now..

[sipi]

Anyway, back to GrandMa getting blown up.

Is this common??

in this case i will refrain from comments about "blowing" due of respect for the deceased...

[sipi]

And now my wife is saying "Tell Costas and Crazy Chef I am single".

Well done Gents...

I was hoping this thread would have a happy ending....uuummm...not that type of happy ending.

Yes and I bet your wife turned round and said to you.

Ohhhhh......tell Costas my husband is the most hansum man in the world......

And you believed her...........

Sucker............

[sipi]

And so. When I am dead I want to be gently placed in a "small house" at the temple at Wongchumpu so my adoring fans can water me once a year at Songkran. I'm really not into getting blown up.

Ok, one for the masses. A massive explosion with a portion of my remains...

[Costas2008]

Anyway, back to GrandMa getting blown up.

Is this common??

Just had an extended discussion with the wife and she says that this is common in Issan.

Signifies that the people that loved her give her a push to go to Heaven.

Nothing to do with religion but just a custom.

Although, I'm thinking that's an over the top push.....it would have scared the "life" out of her.

Thanks Costas. I had no idea that this is a common custom.

"over the top"? Certainly. I seriously want a bit of me to go this way.

[opalred]

Can you ask your wife which portion that is likely to be?

And whether the ducks get first dibs?

[WhamBam]

Going out with a bang. Way to go!!

yes, My mother inlaw went the same way, after being kept in an Urn for 15 years. I think it was a celebration/ceremony for the new home we sort of built. I,d like to go the same way with a bigger explosion.

[krisb]

Rip Yai.

Add, I've never seen that before.

[Crossy]

I want to go up in one of those festival rockets, then get scattered by the explosion at the end. Note - ensure I'm actually dead first.

And preferably cremated.

If not cremated, that would be one hell of a big rocket!!

[sipi]

That reminds me.

When I asked God to let me reach 100, I meant 100 years not 100 kilograms.

Some of those festival rockets would do justice to a Saturn 5
