"Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, a Buddhist temple in the province of Nonthaburi on the outskirts of Bangkok, posted a video on its Facebook page, showing a woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pick-up truck, slightly moving her arms and head, leaving temple staff bewildered. Pairat Soodthoop, the temple's general and financial affairs manager, told The Associated Press yesterday that the 65-year-old woman's brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated."
"He said they heard a faint knock coming from the coffin. "I was a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin, and everyone was startled," he said. "I saw her opening her eyes and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for some time." According to Pairat, the brother said his sister had been bedridden for about two years, when her health deteriorated and she became unresponsive, appearing to stop breathing two days ago."
A temple posted a video showing a woman lying in a white coffin who was slightly moving her arms and head. Temple staff heard a faint knock and opened the coffin to find her opening her eyes and knocking on the side. Her brother had driven her from Phitsanulok after she became unresponsive and reportedly stopped breathing two days earlier. He had attempted to take her to a Bangkok hospital for organ donation but was refused without a death certificate. The temple assessed the woman, sent her to a nearby hospital, and the abbot agreed to cover medical expenses.
