Thanks for the info, unfortunately I cant read Thai. But you said its a ritual? Or would it be more accurate to say that it is an standard operating procedure (SOP) to do once a graveyard is full to accomodate "new arrivals?" Because I notice the title says "Thai Research Institute chopped dead man's body...." This is something new to me and I never imagined that such procedure of making space for graveyards exists. But "Thai Research Institute" sounds like an official agency? Is it the office in-charge of doing this what you call "ritual?" Or is it (title) just a hoax? Because I also wonder why they didnt even care to wear gloves or any protective material while they are butchering the cadaver; they are literally exposing themselves to some possible infection. That is why I doubt about the officiality of the people involved.
Lastly, the way they enjoy their meal afterwards (though I doubt if it contains human meat!) looks like they are so used to doing it. So this must really be a common practice if indeed its not a hoax, is that right?

It is the non-profit and charitable foundation which is support
by both private sections and the government
Its main mission is to collect the dead bodies at the place of incident
and to rescue people at the place of accidents.
they are professional volunteers when it comes to deal with the dead bodies

Thanks for the info Tobias. But as I've mentioned I can't read Thai/Lao.
YOu said these people are professional but I dont find in their method any practice of professionalism at all.
1st, they dont use gloves to protect themselves. Wow, the thought of handling human flesh with my bare hands is already unimaginable, plus the fact that Im exposing myself into some infectious agent... Notice in one photo someones food is even placed close to where the cadaver is being butchered.
2nd, look at where they place the limbs? They just put the organs on the ground, arms and legs on a piece of wood... that;s it. I dont find that professional at all.
3rd, Im wondering whether they even bothered washing their hands before they took their hearty meal.
If you have contact to this group could you please recommend to them to at least use a pair of gloves or even ordinary plastic, if they find the former too costly. Its for their own protection. Who knows what caused the death of that man. It could be from an infectious disease, right?

I will work on it for sure! and I will PM you later!
I'm sorry, but I went to monk hood when I was 15 and later again at the age of 24 to pay homage to my religion, culture, and respect for parents. Not once is this practice mention or talk about. So please do not say it's a buddhist thing. Also the man wearing white (with beads around his neck), seems to do most of the cutting. He looks a Mor Pee or some kind of Ajarn who practice voodoo/black magic type.
I am very offended the anonymous post say this is a buddhist practice. OUt of my years of practicing buddhism, I've never known any rituals of dissecting cadavers....NEVER. so, please get your facts straight before ignorantly spreading false statements.
Hold up, your Christian?! No... wonder buddy, to you, chopping up dead human must be the BUDDHA"S Way huh? WRONG! Get your info before you say something like that, why, am I angry, WELP cause I have a bad day. Thanks to you, I'm more piss... There's many people like yourself out there who isn't buddhist and will read your INFORMATION and get it all twisted up. Internet info spreads fast you know. So please don't say something if you don't know.
Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
