Royal Thai Army vet enjoys own funeral from inside coffin

Instead of wondering who would come to his funeral, Samran Meejai decided to find out for himself.

So on Friday, the 82-year-old veteran of the Royal Thai Army took up his appointed position – inside a coffin at a Suphanburi province temple – and watched friends and family turn out for his ceremony.

“I wanted to see those who came to my funeral, because when I die I will not have a chance to see their faces,” Mr. Samran told Khaosod.
