Would you buy clothes from a zombie?
Location: Phetchabun Province, Thailand
Kanittha Thongnak puts on zombie make-up
to sell clothes belonging to the dead
(SOUNDBITE) (Thai) CLOTHING SELLER, KANITTHA THONGNAK, SAYING:
"It started when I went to a funeral and there were a lot of clothes from the dead person, so I thought it would be better to sell them than to burn them. I asked the undertaker whether I can sell them and once I sold the clothes, I donated some money back to the temple."
(SOUNDBITE) (Thai) CUSTOMER, ANU KAEWSOM, SAYING:
"I bought clothes during the live stream, including what I'm wearing now and also my husband's clothes. They are unused clothes of the dead.// They're like normal clothes. The monk told me it is better to sell the clothes because it gives more value than burning them."
Kanittha also sells handmade horror-themed items
like zombie dolls
(SOUNDBITE) (Thai) CLOTHING SELLER, KANITTHA THONGNAK, SAYING:
"Most of my customers are people with different religions, for instance Muslims, and people who are not scared, or people who want to support me. Some of them don't even want the clothes, they just transfer the money to participate in the donation. There are also some people who get scared by my make-up."
