I'll be writing up a blog soon on 'more of Thailand's greatest rivalries, and by chance the body collection firms will be in it.

Basically, there are two big firms in Bangkok which compete with each other for the dead bodies! Why? They belong to charities which make a lot of money from donations (for coffins).

There was a classic story from a few months back when the rival firms arrived at the dead body scene at the same time and there ended up with a huge punch up!

Then another time, a group of volunteers were photographed by a Thai language newspaper sat around drinking whiskey outside the foundation's building after they received a few bottles for free for bringing in a dead body! Make merit the Thai way, and get paid for it!
