As Thai people grapple with the physical aftereffects of December's natural disaster, they are also dealing with another serious problem: Ghosts. For many Thais, steeped in Buddhist teachings of rebirth and even older animistic beliefs in spirits, ghosts are very real. When people die suddenly and violently, as they did in the December waves, spirits cling to their bodies and to familiar places, unsure of how to cross from the world of the living to the world of the dead, many here believe.

I didn't realize that that was part of their beliefs. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for them, especially with this problem added on.
Thanks for showing this.
