Seeking to do a good deed in Thailand? The Coffin Temple would be the best place to do so. In this land of smiles, it is considered to be doing a highly honourable act of you donate coffins. Even if you are not a believer, you can do so by using only 500 Baht to purchase a coffin which will be donated to the unfortunate individuals who have died of illness, accidents or those whose bodies are unclaimed. The whole donation process will only take for about a quarter of an hour. Upon making the donation, you will be handed two pieces of paper, the pink one which will be pasted on the empty coffin that you have donated while you will burn the white one at an altar to pay respects to the deities. Experience a whole new way of doing a kind deed while you help those in destitute to pay their respects to the deceased.
