00:00Welcome to Roam Kratan Yu Foundation at Wat Hua Lamphong, a place that opens 24 hours for those who want to make merit.

00:07Wat Hua Lamphong in Central Bangkok is a popular spot where people donate toward coffins for the deceased without relatives.

00:15Start by visiting the donation area where you fill out your name, birthdate, and wishes on two pieces of paper then make your donation.

00:24The pink paper is for the coffin donation while the orange paper serves as your donation certificate.
