To start life afresh, Thais "practice" death (Reuters)
BANGKOK (Reuters) ? For those facing a run of bad luck and wanting to start things over, one Thai temple has an unusual solution: "rehearse" death with a mock funeral, including lying down in a coffin.
Pram Manee temple in Nakorn Nayok province, 107 km northeast of Bangkok, holds two of the rituals every day: at exactly 9:09 a.m. and 1:09 p.m., since the number nine is believed by Thais to bring good luck.
Participants in a recent ritual stood in front of their designated coffins, holding flowers and praying for bad luck to go away, then asked to receive good luck.
All had paid 180 baht ($6) for the flowers, a white sheet and "merit set" -- a collection of necessities sometimes including toothpaste, toothbrushes and food -- to be offered to monks, and the promise of a better life.
"First we pray for the 'dead,' to wash away the bad things. They will go away when the monk draws a sheet over the coffin," said Rin Manaboom, a monk at the temple who conducts the ceremonies.
"The monk will turn the sheet over and pull it back, like pulling the good things back in. First we push the bad luck away, then we put the good things in."
While the participants lie in their coffins, monks chant prayers. After this, they emerge from their resting place to be blessed with holy water by a monk.
Krisda Netmanee, a 39-year-old police officer, said he wanted a fresh start after a series of bad work assignments.
"I had bad luck this year. I'm here to wash my bad luck away, and ask for blessings for good things to come," he added.
Others take part in the ritual regularly.
Farmer Ra Damthanin said she has lain within a coffin at least six times in the hopes of a long life.
"I wish to live very long with my children, my neighbors, my sisters," the 62-year-old said.
"I wish to live a very long time."

Condo 101: Advantages of Condo Living
This article has been viewed 11 times.
Many people are thinking of living in a condo considering the fact that the price of buying a house and lot is more expensive and less convenient compared to condo living. Condominiums may have more advantages than single family homes. Aside from the price, there are other benefits in condo living not specifically available in single family homes.
If you are trying to decide if they you should go for condo living, you have to be aware of the pros and cons so that you can think of what is the best for your financial need now as well as your family?s preference. Here are the benefits of living in a condo:
In condominiums, there will be someone who is going to clean the exterior and interior of the building. Repairs, snow removal issues, as well as melting supplies are all included in condo living and this is possible with the monthly fees you pay to the condo association. You don?t need to worry about taking care of the outside or who will take care of the lawn, the garden, and so on. The small monthly fee will take care of everything.
Moreover, you are not going to worry about putting your garbage out. There is a garbage room in every floor. The garbage bags are placed in a chute, which are taken down to the main floor garbage room.
Unlike in a single home arrangement where you have to hire someone to carry the person and wheelchair up and down the stairs, the elevator can take them up and down without any hassle. Going up and down your house is not a problem especially if you have a handicapped member of the family and for parents who have children, they don?t have to use the stairs and risk their children falling down in a condo.
You?ll see how contemporary and stylish the arrangements are in condos if you?ll just try to look around. If you think the living in a condo living is like living in a box, think again. You can have a balcony for some fresh air, you can have lots of neighbors whom you can build your network with in case you have a business, and so on and so forth. You can amazing evening lights of the metro, or have ceiling to floor glass window where you can see the majestic sunset.
Condo living might look luxurious for a first time home buyer, but it can save you from the stress of home ownership. It has more to offer than you can think. It contains wonderful features and facilities like pools, gyms, and a whole lot more, however, the choice is all yours. You have an agent who can tell you about the pros and cons of condo living over home dwelling so you have enough time to decide whether you are going to choose condo living arrangement or the comforts of living in single Golden CO homes.
These are just a few of the benefits you?ll have and most probably won?t be experienced in a single Real Estate in Crosby home if you decide to live in a condo unit. Visit Ogden Utah Homes for sale for more condo properties.
