roamer Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Donated. So sad, hopes and dreams shattered. Beyond my understanding, I suspect that applies to many of us. May you find peace Ananya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebilcock Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Bless you for that, Roamer. Hard to comprehend what the poor guy must have been going through to be driven to do something so dreadful.

As Im non religious I would leave the body there and not burden other people with the financial cost of bringing her home it seems rather pointless but thats just me.

I'm pretty sure that Ananya's mother doesn't think it's pointless - and her's is the only opinion that matters just now. I did a Google search on "Go Fund Me Ananya Mungmart's Funeral Expenses" and found some nice photos and comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is making foreigners pay to bring back this poor girls body back home to her mother. There are certain times when it is better to keep quiet.

The definition of stupidity would be believing in something that isnt true that there is some way this person will be brought back to life by a supernatural being. Most people in the world "believe" this and thats my definition of stupidity. Edited February 28, 2016 by kannot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacky54 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) why do they need money? don't see any indication of too poor to afford one way tickets. Carting bodies around the world is idiotic, cremate and take the ashes home. Edited February 29, 2016 by jacky54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shunter Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 How many of you good caring souls would assist a foreigner living here if he or she was in similar circumstances? There is a thread here concerning the plight of an 82 year old man who is being fleeced conned whatever you may like to say. Positive action there may well ensure he stays alive. That is and would be a much more worthy cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 why do they need money? don't see any indication of too poor to afford one way tickets. Carting bodies around the world is idiotic, cremate and take the ashes home. Obviously . Secondly, I am sure there are Buddhist monks in Florida that can perform the necessary funeral rites. I haven't read the original story, but this sounds like a scam to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Guys. The OP made a request if you disagree then just don't post or donate. Stop the slanging match in what is a trying time for the OPs family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very large and very pleasant Thai Temple not far from there in Melbourne, Florida. I have been there many times. I am sure some suitable Buddhist ceremony could be arranged there. And, assuming the body is cremated, the ashes could easily be transported back to Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
