About the Book
This is a special book - I have never before been approached to cover a funeral and cremation. On reflection, given cultural differences and the fact that I live in Thailand, perhaps it isn't so odd.
The subject is the father of Nang and the father-in-law of Daeng. Daeng and Nang I have known for some time, having had Daeng's help in the past for small building projects on my property. We also live in the same village, Ban Kham Phom in Chumphae District, Khon Kaen Province.
The subject's name is Kham Jaiauea; was born on 15/04/2480 and died on 24/02/2558, he was 76 years old.
Thai funerals are usually a minimum of 3 days in length; the final day involves breakfast and lunch for attendees, family and friends socialising, monks chanting, family rites, the procession to the local temple and last, the cremation of the body.
This third and final day is documented in this book.
