KRABI: The family of a high-ranking officer in Krabi has requested that fans be brought to the late lieutenant colonel's funeral in lieu of wreaths.

The funeral of Lt Col Kliang Maneechote, 50, of the Krabi Provincial Police was held at a temple in Krabi Town after he passed away on March 13 after suffering a stroke.

Col Kliang’s wife, Laddawan Maneechote, 47, said that the fans will be more useful, as they will later be donated to schools and temples.

A wonderful idea which in many ways will ensure a memory of the deceased lives on.

Flowers are of no use at all.Fans however are of great use.

A good and positive story. This is the side of Thai people that does the country a great service. I hope this thread will get lots of positive replies.

At first I thought they meant supporters.

Great Idea which I hope catches on.

Maybe the family should try donating all of the ill gotten wealth this guy likely acquired over his career as a BIB.
