Temporary site for worship at the Administration building (Poh Teck Tung Foundation, Bangkok)

Besides coffin offering to the destitute deceased at Ruamkatanyu Foundation, there is another non-profit organisation in Thailand called Poh Tech Tung Foundation. Founded in 1910, this charity organization has been established by Dr. Utain Techapaiboon for arranging funerals for unidentified corpses, such as accident victims. Supported by Thai Chinese living in Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown, people from all walks of life step forward to offer a helping hand. Each coffin is 650 Baht (about S$28 or US$20.00) as compared with 500 Baht at Ruamkatanyu Foundation.
