webfact Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Buddhist Temple Paints Crematorium Pink to Ease Fears By Khaosod EnglishThe pink crematorium at Wat Phob Suk Temple in Mueang district of Nakhon Ratchasima province.NAKHON RATCHASIMA — A Buddhist temple in northeastern Thailand has repainted its crematorium pink to console funeral-goers and local residents.The crematorium, located in Wat Phob Suk Temple in Nakhon Ratchasima province, was built in 1990 but renovated last year, said Phra Witthaya Wiratthano, a monk who lives on the temple compound."Residents who walked past the temple by night felt scared by the crematorium," Phra Witthaya told Khaosod, adding that the building's original coat of white paint had faded over the years.Phra Witthaya said he decided to repaint the entire strucutre in bright pink to ease visitor’s fears.The temple pavilion and the cart used to carry coffins were also painted pink, with the hope that the playful color will bring some consolation to funeral-goers, the monk explained.Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1429521159 -- Khaosod English 2015-04-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nothing wrong with that. I'm sure the dead won't mind a bit about the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) People are afraid of white? Nothing wrong with a little creativity, but that particular shade is nasty and it clashes with the green and red. Why not use some soothing colours that go together?

Popular Post Mcffee Posted April 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) People are afraid of white? No they are affraid of feelings and thoughts. They did not learn to deal with feelings, hence every minor inconvenience in their mind is being maipenrayed and smiled away to avoid any confrontation with themselves and let them stay safely on the limited surface of their emotional world. Welcome in the mind of the Thai. Edited April 20, 2015 by Mcffee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeegee Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Someone better warn them about homophobic spirits. I think gay bashers turn into poltergeists. Since these are Thai spirits, that'll be at least five angry poltergeists for every innocent victim they take their anger out on at being Hello Kittyed. (Hello Kittyed is the past tense of the verb, obviously.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullstop Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've been in and around Thailand for 28 years and am never going to be able to understand them.. I understand them. I just disagree with their thought processes, work ethics, design efforts, construction outcomes, governing, education system and the way they drive. I still haven't found out why the spirits here prefer red Fanta though. Maybe a few years after my death and mixing it up with dead Thais...I'll understand that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least where I've seen the red Fanta drinks placed. Piles of red Fanta, and the spirits refuse to drink it. Why do the Thai continue trying to force red Fanta on spirits? You'd think that after a while, they'd try something else to see if it works any better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
