Funeral of Karen man in Northern Thailand
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Funeral of Karen man in Northern Thailand
Wow. Nice one. I particularly like the two pictures of the smiling men and the old lady praying.
I wasn't expecting an open casket. Do you know if he died a natural death? I guess they don't use embalming fluid?
For the coins in the eyes, are they normal currency, or a special token or something?
Interesting.

I thought they might have been the Silver Indochina Piastre coins the hilltribes use but they appear to be ordinary 10 Baht coins.Splashback wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 11:12 am

Silence, exile, and cunning.
