Why Are There So Many Graves?
A Walk Through Wat Prathong
The grave markers need some cleanup.
Today was a celebration day at Buddhist Wat Prathong here in Phuket, Thailand. Being that my first husband Oh, my mother in law and my father in law are buried in the grave area I decided to pay my respects with my husband and daughter. I have noticed an explosion in the number of grave sites in the area.
My father in law died in a motorbike accident before I even met my first husband, ultimately on the same main drag (Thepkrassatri 402) that Oh would die on himself in 2018. Father Sukwan’s ashes were housed in the mausoleum at Wat Prathong, as the family did not have the money for in the ground burial. In 2014 Oh insisted that we have a ceremony and put his ashes in the ground in the gravesite area. He told me in no uncertain terms then that when he died he wanted to be put in the ground next to his father at Wat Prathong. Despite my husband’s sudden death in a motorbike accident, the circumstances were perfect (we were in Phuket and my family was there) and his wishes clearly outlined, so everybody knew what to do. We had an elaborate 5 day Buddhist Vigil, followed by the crematorium and then his bones were blessed and put in the ground next to his father.
Last picture with Oh in front of the Wat Prathong crematorium in 2018. From my collection of images that are probably not that easy to photoshop.
The family is responsible for putting up any grave markers or monuments. Some grave markers are elaborate and large with photos of the deceased and dates of birth and death. Most are simple cement blocks and only family members would know the identity of the deceased. It was not super common to be buried in the grave area at Wat Prathong in 2014. I would guess there were only about 20 markers in there when Father Sukwan’s ashes were put into the ground.
When Oh died in 2018, I would guess that the number of grave markers had expanded to around 30. When Mar (my mother in law) died in 2019, it was around the same number. I made the personal grave markers for all three of them in January of 2020 using cement and simple laminated photographs. The tile I laid in the area has become cracked and weathered with time. I want to really clean up the gravesite for the upcoming Phuket Vegetarian Festival.

Long story short, I have been in the grave area of Wat Prathong in 2014, then two or three times per year in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. There were about 30 grave markers in 2018, and in 2019 and in early 2020 I think I noticed one added. In late 2020 I noticed maybe two fresher graves. When I came back in the second half of 2021 I noticed five or six fresh graves. I visited Wat Prathong maybe three months ago and was shocked as it seemed like the number had doubled.
Today I decided to walk around the grave area and really count the markers. It snakes around and a lot of people are adding in an area behind where my husband, mother in law and father in law were buried. I noticed two fresh markers in that area one where the dirt hadn’t even settled yet. There’s over 70 graves in the area now. I did not see any drastic change in numbers until late in 2021.
Most as I said have no markings that identify details. Sometimes it takes the family some time to raise the funds for a proper marker, which is not supposed to be done during the first 100 day period of mourning anyways. But I did see this one.
My reading of Thai language is pretty poor, so someone is more than welcome to correct me. The year in Thailand is based on a Buddhist calendar which started the year he achieved Nirvana/passed on, so greetings from the year 2565. This boy was born on May 3, 2006 and died on August 1, 2021 (I think).
What could this 15 year old have died from? I want to say the Covid “vaccines” were approved for ages 12 and up in Thailand by the summer of 2021, but they didn’t heavily pressure the teens until they restarted in person school in October or November (evil). So yes, it could be related to that.
But if my family is anything to go by, people can die from other things. Teen boys around here like hot rodding around on souped up motorbikes and Thailand is always near or at the top spot for the most vehicle fatalities per capita in the entire world. Phuket is worse than average on that, which is saying a lot. There’s been government response to Covid causing death through spiking suicide rates and substance abuse issues. It could be other things.
Sometimes it is easy to jump to the conclusion that everybody who dies suddenly died from the jab. I think there is a danger that there’s going to be trolling operations to discredit those who assume that. There still will be the occasional young person with a heart defect or person whose sudden death might be a coverup for a drug overdose. The people who still believe the lies will try to stay willfully blind.
I think the big picture numbers don’t lie. They’re trying to kill us. Why did Wat Prathong go from 30 graves to 70, almost all since the “vaccines” rolled out? That’s a lot of new markers.
Do you have an on the ground experience in your area where the numbers don’t lie? I’d be curious to hear about it…
"Died at home unexpectedly", "died in her sleep peacefully", etc. seems to be happening in 1 out of 12 deaths on a local funeral home website here. Ages are 39, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 72.
I don’t personally have a tale such as this but I do have a good friend, a nurse at a prestigious heart clinic. She’s been there over 2 decades and knows her stuff. She told me the sheer volume of young men coming into the clinic with “old man” heart issues is unreal. What they used to see per YEAR, they now see per month, at least. Some docs know and are quiet. Some docs act as though it’s all the norm or they are baffled. SHE writes each patient’s vax status in bright marker in front of each file she touches. Many do not. (Seems like that should be an office rule). Nurses in agreement speak in code. She had a mom in tears last week. One of her twin sons had died while jogging. He was 27, vaxxed and super fit. She is heartbroken, as is his brother. She knows it was the vax.
We’ve never heard of so many young people dying nor so many dying on the field of play.
