about the gallery

Over the last week, Thai medical students paid tribute over the coffins of hundreds of cadavers, in a series of ceremonies culminating in a cremation, to bid farewell to the corpses who served as silent teachers in their classrooms and helped them sharpen their dissection and anatomy skills. Students across 26 temples gathered along with the family members of the people who donated themselves to medical study as a final tribute to their role in training the future medical professionals of the country.
