Popular Post sipi Posted March 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2015 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! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipi Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theslime Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Anyway, back to GrandMa getting blown up. Is this common?? 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
