In a startling incident at Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, a Buddhist temple in Nonthaburi province near Bangkok, a 65-year-old woman shocked temple staff by moving inside her coffin as she was being prepared for cremation. The temple shared a video on its Facebook page, capturing the woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pick-up truck, slightly moving her arms and head. Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, recounted the bizarre event to The Associated Press on Monday. He explained that the woman’s brother had transported her from Phitsanulok province for cremation, believing she had passed away two days prior. The brother claimed his sister had been bedridden for two years and appeared to stop breathing recently. However, during the journey, faint knocking sounds were heard from the coffin. Upon opening it, the staff discovered the woman slightly opening her eyes and tapping on the coffin’s side. The brother had initially intended to donate her organs but was turned away by a Bangkok hospital due to the lack of an official death certificate. The temple, which offers free cremation services, also refused to proceed without the required documentation. After assessing the woman’s condition, the temple arranged for her to be taken to a nearby hospital, with the abbot pledging to cover her medical expenses.
