Floating Ashes in the Sea
Posted on 12 February 2010
Traditionally, in Thailand, when a Buddhist dies, their body is cremated and then the bones and ashes are collected and are either kept at the temple or at home or sometimes both. However, there is a third option which is seemingly becoming more popular these days. It is called "loi angkarn" which means the floating or scattering of ashes over the water.
