Central Thailand: Prasat Bun Sathan Foundation honours preserved Golden Babies

A ceremony was held today to honour eight Golden Babies and three adult bodies, all remarkably preserved, at the Phitsanulok‘s Prasat Bun Sathan Foundation.

This was part of their third ceremony for collecting and cremating unidentified bodies. The bodies were exhumed from 453 graves at the Khao Fah Cemetery.

The ceremony attracted many individuals who sought blessings, believed to be bestowed by the Golden Babies. Housed in glass boxes, these bodies were offered toys, snacks, milk, and red water. Some attendees reported seeing lucky numbers appearing on the babies’ foreheads, including 30-70-80-86-58-56.

The reporter spoke with 27 year old Metinee, who identified one of the Golden Babies as her son. She explained that her son was born on December 4, 2020, with a heart condition and passed away on January 8, 2021, aged just one month and four days.

He was buried at the Khao Fah Cemetery as he had no teeth at the time of his death, which, according to tradition, made him ineligible for a regular funeral. Metinee was unaware that her son had become a Golden Baby until the foundation discovered his preserved body.

She also mentioned that her son had appeared in her dreams five times since his passing, and each time, she won the lottery. Metinee attended the ceremony not only to see her son but also to offer him toys, milk, and snacks, and to share merits with him, reported Sanook.

The third unidentified body collection and forest cleansing ceremony by the Prasat Bun Sathan Foundation, Phitsanulok, is scheduled to take place from November 2 to December 20, spanning 49 days. The foundation invites merit-seekers to participate in this significant charitable event.
