Chief of feces-eating cult arrested after 11 useless bodies discovered throughout raid

Thai police raided the compound of a suspected cult chief in Chaiyaphum province on Sunday, discovering at the very least 11 our bodies during the search. Native authorities have been capable of raid the compound after the group allegedly violated land encroachment legal guidelines and broke Covid-19 restriction laws.

Law enforcement had already been made aware of the group after allegations were shared that the neighborhood had been consuming the bodily fluids of its leader. After police made their way onto the camp grounds, police then found the stays of 11 our bodies in coffins.

However, the group was solely in a position to present demise certificates belonging to five of the 11 of the deceased. Police have ordered autopsies to be conducted to determine the causes of demise of the bodies.

The suspected leader of the group has been detained for questioning, however before the arrest many of his followers tried to cease police from arresting the aged man in the course of the raid. 

The strange group was known in the area to conduct themselves in a religious-like method, the place devotees of the “father,” Thawee Nanra, 75, would do nearly something for the man. Some say he would power his followers to drink his urine, eat his feces, and devour filth in an effort to heal bodily diseases.

Cult-like teams will not be uncommon in Thailand. In 2019, a ‘rape cult’ on Koh Phangan was revelaed where feminine college students say they had been promised spiritual practice only to be coerced into intercourse or raped by its founder. Final 12 months, an elderly monk decapitated himself with a do-it-yourself machine in an attempt to reincarnate as a better being. His followers helped him build the contraption and helped him commit suicide. More widely identified is the Dhammakaya group, a massively rich Buddhist sect that critics and former followers call a cult.

The incident has rapidly gone viral on social media, with netizens sharing their disgust in opposition to the cult’s practices of consuming human waste. The Thai-language hashtag #พระบิดา (#Father) noticed over 141,000 mentions as of Monday’s afternoon.

A snippet from tv shows a girl, who seems to be a member of the cult, saying that she didn't detect any unpleasant odor whereas consuming the human waste.  

“There isn’t even an odor,” the lady remarked. “Only these with a tainted mind could smell it.”

"ไม่มีกลิ่นหรอกค่ะ มีแต่คนจิตไม่ดีเท่านั้นเเหละค่ะที่จะได้กลิ่น"

One twitter person identified that the one who uncovered this cult was Mor Pla, a star volunteer who has helped uncover suspicious religious circumstances, moderately than local authorities. 

“It was supposed to be the police that raided this cult in the first place, isn’t it?,” one Twitter person questioned.

ที่งงคือทำไมถึงต้องเป็นหมอปลาที่เป็นคนประสานหรือนำสังคมไปเจอเรื่องอะไรแบบนี้ ทั้งที่คนที่ควรจะเป็นบุกไปจับ ไปเจอ หรือเปิดเผยมันควรเป็น ตร. หรือ จนท. ของรัฐ ไม่ใช่หรอ ทำไมถึงปล่อยให้มีเรื่องขนาดนี้เกิดขึ้น สุดจริงบ้านนี้เมืองนี้ #พระบิดา

A number of tweets describe what occurred as a failure of Thailand’s education system, notably within the space of hygiene. “I can’t bear the thought of more than half of the country being like this,” another Twitter person wrote.
Thai Enquirer tried to reach local police in Chaiyaphum for comment, but they did not respond by the time of publishing.

Authorities are still looking out the group’s compound for other suspicious materials. That is an ongoing story and we could have extra details within the coming days.
