Thailand - The Bodysnatchers
Reporter: Peter Lloyd
It's gruesome work, but someone has to do it.
<snipped>
Khun Sandy,
When I first came to Thailand, I baught a book (128 pages) at a stall for 59
Baht.
It is filled with extreme beautiful pictures with accompagning text about
Bangkok by night.
Worth every dime.
One of these pictures (page 61) shows the "bodysnatchers" at work, and the
text says:
"Rama 1, 3am"
"Working only by night, volunteers for the Poh Teck Foundation pick up
unidentified corpses and attempt to determine their identities in order to
inform the next of kin. Those who take on these duties earn great respect
due to the highly unsavory aspect of such charity work"
Details of the book:
Title: Bangkok, coulours of the night
Photography: Thomas Renaut
Text by: Natayada na Songkhla
Publisher: Les editions d'Indochine
Printed by Eastern Printing
Distributed by ASA PRESS Bangkok
