Thread: Memory Lane (In my own language)

The atmosphere inside Wat Sakate (where the Golden Mount is sited) in 1800’s.

Around that time, when a commoner died, the funeral could not be held within the city’s area (within the walls surrounding the city of Bangkok). The dead body had to be moved out to a ‘wat’ outside. The most famous Wat Sakate was one of them.

Note: Shown in the photo: the crematorium building is for noble/rich people. A empty coffin seen on the ground below of the photo is for a poor person's. The steel grating close by is used for cremating the corpses of poor people. Also a flock of vultures are seen perching on the roofs. A haunted site to behold.
