Unusual: Man attends his own funeral, family in shock

As a funeral was taking place at a temple in Thailand, the man believed to be dead entered to attend his own burial.

After the surprise and fear, the participants realized that he was a real person and not a ghost, and the main question was who was inside the coffin?

The incident took place at Wat Thung Yaun temple in Na Bon district, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, on January 31, 2020.

Suchart Sanitknam, Prapad's father, was informed that a man had been hit by a train while walking on the tracks and had been killed in the tragic accident.

The man died on the 30th and the funeral took place the next day.

The body was unrecognizable from the train impact but the body was wearing clothes extremely similar to Prapad's.

The family wanted to start the funeral as soon as possible and so the date was set just after they collected the body.

During the ceremony, Prapad entered the hall and stood at his own funeral.

At first, the family was shocked and thought that Prapad's ghost was visiting them one last time.

Finally, after the shock, they realized that it was indeed him and not a ghost.

Prapad is a mentally disturbed man, he was wearing dirty clothes and had not showered for days when the family saw him.

After welcoming Prapad back into the world of the living, the family went to file a complaint at the Chawang police station, as the question of who the person in the coffin was remained.

Police said the incident was not anyone's fault as it was a simple misunderstanding.

Prapad looks very similar to the person who was killed in the accident and was also wearing very similar clothes.

The accident site was also very close to Prapad's home.

The body had no identification or documents.

The body has now been moved to Wat Chan Di temple pending the arrival of the real family.
