Remains exhumed, moved from unlicensed Jewish cemetery
CHACHOENGSAO - Four bodies were exhumed at an unlicensed Jewish cemetery in Bang Khla district and moved to a licensed cemetery in adjoining Chon Buri province on Tuesday morning.
Four bodies have been relocated from a Jewish cemetery in Thailand to a memorial park in Chon Buri province. The transfer took place on September 15, following the discovery that the cemetery's operating license had expired in 2023. Chachoengsao Governor Chatpra-orn Niyom ordered the bodies to be moved from the Bang Khla district cemetery as its location did not meet legal requirements.
The governor had previously ordered the cemetery structures to be demolished and the bodies to be transferred to a properly licensed private cemetery within seven days. Gan Chabad Co Ltd coordinated the relocation, which took place with religious rites and respect for the deceased. District and provincial officials, along with local administrative representatives, observed the transfer in Ban Bueng district, Chon Buri.
The province affirmed it would continue acting under its authority and in line with Interior Ministry directives.
