73 bodies discovered: Death cult in Thailand smashed
Pho Thale (Thailand) - Disturbing discovery in the Thai jungle. The mummified remains of 73 people have been discovered on the property of a sect.

600 crocodiles, 73 mummies and bizarre artifacts. A bizarre death cult has taken up residence in a remote forest in central Thailand.
On Monday, numerous police officers swarmed out and searched the sect's extensive forest property in the province of Phichit, reported the Khaosod portal.
According to the police, 41 bodies were initially found in pavilions scattered around the property. They also found numerous ritual objects, apparently consisting of human remains. The sect also kept around 600 crocodiles, some in tiny cages.
The authorities have since confirmed that a further 32 bodies have been found, reported"Channel 7". This brings the death toll to 73.
Around a dozen cultists and their leader Phra Saifon Phandito, a Buddhist monk, were found in the forest temple. From what is known, the guru preached a strange mixture of meditation, Buddhist folk beliefs and probably also black magic.

Temple of death in Thailand: Investigations continue
According to initial findings, the bodies show no signs of violence. According to the police, most of the bodies had been carefully embalmed and placed in sarcophagi.
The sect leader told the police that the dead had "consecrated" their bodies to the temple. Most of them were parents or relatives of his "disciples". He was able to show death certificates and documents relating to body donations - these are now being checked.
It is unclear how many people have joined the cult - according to information from Khaosod, it is likely to be several hundred. The illegal temple is to be shut down and the leader is still at large.
The Thai police are still investigating the matter.
The current case is reminiscent of the machinations of the "corpse abuser sect" surrounding the self-proclaimed healer Thawee Nanra, who was up to mischief in Thailand for years. The authorities put an end to his activities in 2022.
