A funeral held in Thailand’s rural Chaiyaphum province yesterday made headlines in local media. On the day of the cremation, two pairs of Muay Thai fighters fought before the deceased’s body to honor the fact that Netthawan Suthammapiwat loved Muay Thai all his life.

 

At Nonsawang Temple, father Saman decided to hold the Muay Thai matches to celebrate his son’s favorite sport, and because the family owns a Muay Thai gym, Thailand Press News reported.

 

Saman said his son always helped him manage the gym and was meant to take over the family business. Sadly, Netthawan died at 36 from a blood infection.

Right idea, just like an Irish 'wake' (a.k.a. piss up) to celebrate the person's life, rather than mourn his death.

Nothing to do with raising a bit of money for funeral expenses/publicity for the gym, as gambling often associated with this activity?

 

No objection as long as they are upfront about it, but unfortunately it's illegal.
