Daily News Thai Caption: Ashes scattered on the land

Daily News went to investigate in Muang district of Sisaket in Thailand's north east after what appeared to be human ashes were found in two piles by a klong.

It is usual to scatter ashes on water but these were left near a pier on the land.

Comment was rife on Facebook speculating as to who would do this.

A local man called Thawatchai, 37, said he and his friends fish in the area.

He'd seen the piles copmplete with white cloth and one baht coins among the ashes.

Then he saw two women arrive in a car and deposit another pile of ashes in the same area and drive off.

A local abbot called Winai at Wat Srisomboon Rattanaram said it was most irregular as this would be confusing for the spirit and disturbing for the public.

Usually ashes are spread on the water to float away which helps the spirit find rest.

The Isaan Record

When spirits have a chance to return to the physical realm their cravings are pointed: they want whisky, a lot of smokes (sometimes more than one at a time), and the mild narcotic, betel nut. In Rasi Salai’s Spirit-Medium Festival held in October, some 200 spirits got to enjoy some time on this earth, imbibing in human vices but, from their inter-worldly vantage point, also warning their believers to take care of the land. In turn, they will provide protection to those who take heed of their warnings.
