A Thai grandmother stunned her grieving family — and an entire temple — when she woke up inside her coffin just moments before she was about to be cremated.

Chonthirot, 65, had been declared dead at her home in Phitsanulok, northern Thailand, early on November 23. Her relatives believed she passed peacefully after two years bedridden, and placed her in a white coffin for the 225-mile journey to a temple near Bangkok that offers free cremations for the poor.

But when they arrived, the unimaginable happened.

As temple staff prepared for the cremation, workers suddenly heard knocking and a faint cry for help coming from inside the wooden box.

“I peeled back the cloth covering her and froze,” said temple worker Thammanoon, 27. “She was breathing weakly and nodding, but she couldn’t speak. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Family members stood in shock as Chonthirot, still lying inside the coffin, moved her arms and even wiped flies from her face. Her younger brother Mongkol, 57, said he had already signed the death papers and given them to the monk.

“I nearly collapsed from surprise,” Mongkol said. “It’s a miracle my sister woke up.”

Paramedics rushed Chonthirot to Bang Yai Hospital, where she was reported to be breathing but extremely weak. The temple, Wat Rat Prakhong Tham, said it would pay for her medical bills.

Temple abbot Phra Kitti Wachirathada said in all his years he’d never witnessed anything so extraordinary. “This family was given a second chance,” he said.

Oddly enough, this isn’t the first case of a Thai “resurrection.” Earlier this year, an 85-year-old grandmother from Buriram province was pronounced dead for 40 minutes — before sitting up with her eyes wide open as her family prepared for funeral rites.

Locals are calling both women “living miracles.”
