I did some thinking, before I decided to post this here.

I was at a newspaper stand, when I saw this horrific pictures on the front page of a pulication called "The Scoop" with a caption that says Asians are killing and eating blacks. Although the pictures on a face value really looked like they people in the pix were preparing a man's body for eating, I felt I should ask some questions before I swallow it like that.

I went to the net and goggled until I found similar pictures which I suspected to be the ones published by the Scoop, so I went back to the newpaper stand and actually confirmed that it was the same pictures, except that some ohter pictures were added to drive home the point that those guys actually ate up a dead man.

As much as I dislike the manner in which the fotos were taken and how they are released, I think the publishers of "The Scoop" has done worse than those who took and released the pictures. Some Nigerians are already calling for "actions" against Asians.

I wanted to reach the publishers, but there is email address. The phone number I saw, 0706 332 7267 is "not available". Those in authorities should do something fast before some thing bad happens.

Below is the link to the pictures and the subsequent reactions thereof. I advice nairalanders to please go through all the comments and all other links before commenting, but me thinks the publishers of the "The Scoop" should be arrested and prosecuted immidiately.

Your post is not clear. I only made two points:
1. Although it was not cannibals exhitbing their skills, it was wrong to shoot and distribute the pix.
2. The publisher of "The Scoop" should be arrested and prosecuted for spreading such a dangerous misinoframtion.

That is the point. The publishers of "the Scoop" just want too make some fast cash. Its junk journalism taken to the extreme.

Bone Cleansing


Fifth Cemetery Clean Up Programme




A Cemetery Clean Up Programme that started on 24th March  until now has been very successful since many people have shown interest and wish to volunteer in the event.

The merit making religious ceremony arranged by the Sawang Boriboon Foundation and Volunteers involves the collection and cleaning of bones from overcrowded cemeteries, particularly of unidentified bodies that have no family or relatives to honour them.  The bones are then ceremoniously cremated and the ashes are interred at the various temples.  This clean up will carry on until 11th May.

Cemetery Clean Up


Fifth Cemetery Clean Up Still Ongoing



A ceremony was held at the Sawang Boriboon Foundation in the morning of 29th April. Governor of Chonburi Mr. Pracha Terat and Assistant Industry Minister,

Doctor Prayot Nuangjamnong, officiated at the ceremony together with many residents that attended to perform the religious practice, which is another ceremony included in the 5th cemetery clean up of unidentified bodies without relatives.

Collected bones were piled up and paid respect to before being burnt in the belief that this will release the spirits of the deceased.

There were performances of dancing, playing musical instruments, and a lot of food was offered to all to celebrate this religious ceremony.

Cemetery Clean Up


Atmosphere of Cemetery Clean Up




The second day of Cemetery Clean up ceremony was made on 29th March where over 200 Sawang rescuers and over 100 residents went to the cemetery in

Soi Siam Country Club to dig up unidentified corpses and of those who have no relatives and clean them up for cremation.

Even though the weather was extremely hot that day but everyone that went had smiles on their faces since that was a kind of making merit. No one complaint and helped each other from their hearts to send their spirits and set their body free.

The first body taken out was very decomposed since it has been buried for 5 years but was ceremonially cleaned up for the cremation ceremony.

All together 15 corpses were exhumed and on the next day the Sawang Boriboon Foundation prepared the bodies for the ceremony. Pattaya People Media Group will keep you updated with the news and proceedings of this weird yet fascinating merit making ceremony.

This might not be real. I have seen that picture from other thread here.
