Thai Woman Found Alive in Coffin Moments Before Cremation

A 65-year-old Thai woman stunned temple staff at a Buddhist temple near Bangkok after she was found alive inside a coffin just before her scheduled cremation.

The incident occurred at Wat Rat Prakhong Tham in Nonthaburi province, where a video posted to the temple’s Facebook page showed the woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pickup truck. Temple workers were shocked when they noticed movement—her arms and head subtly shifting.

Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, told the Associated Press that the woman had been brought from Phitsanulok province by her brother. He said the Thai woman had been bedridden for two years and appeared to have stopped breathing two days earlier.

The brother, assuming she had died, placed her in a coffin and drove approximately 500 kilometers to Bangkok, intending to donate her organs as per her earlier wish. However, a hospital declined to accept the body due to the lack of an official death certificate.

Emphasis mine. This must be the Thailand equivalent of a "Florida Man" story.

Critter Corner

On Tuesday, I featured a story about a drunk raccoon. This might be his cousin.

Oh, you were looking for something else about animals and alcohol? Got ya covered!

Wild chimps consume more alcohol than anyone expected

Date: December 1, 2025

Source: University of California - Berkeley

Summary: Chimpanzees naturally ingest surprising amounts of alcohol from ripe, fermenting fruit. Careful measurements show that their typical fruit diet can equal one to two human drinks each day. This supports the idea that alcohol exposure is not a modern human invention but an ancient primate habit. The work strengthens the “drunken monkey” hypothesis and opens new questions about how animals use ethanol cues in their environment.

This might be a repeat story from a previous ONT of mine. Not sure. I don't read my content.
