  "summary": "Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has criticized foreigners seeking to establish private cemeteries in Thailand, saying \"If you're going to die, go die in your own country.\" His remarks came during a meeting in Bangkok where he ordered provincial governors to enforce stricter laws against foreigners breaking the law. The comments follow a controversy involving a Jewish cemetery in Chachoengsao Province, where Thai authorities removed four bodies and transferred them for reburial at a licensed cemetery in Chonburi Province. Anutin stressed that enforcement measures were not aimed at any particular nationality and that foreigners who respect Thailand's laws and culture are welcome to continue coming.",
