Thai Grave

The Thai tribes (1.4% of the population) who live in wooden houses on stilts, do not bury their dead but instead put them in a grave on stilts. (Fake) money, gold, and rice are laid in the grave with the body and the tomb is protected by some of the person’s clothing hung outside the grave. They purchase printed fake dollars from the markets to leave in the grave. These graves are generally ‘hidden’ from full view in a copse or wild area.
