An undertaker in Chonburi province faced challenges buying diesel for a cremation due to anti-hoarding restrictions at a local petrol station. After staff refused to sell fuel in containers, he brought a coffin to the station as proof of his genuine need. The incident went viral on social media, highlighting the unintended consequences of fuel rationing. Despite being a longtime customer, the undertaker urged for reasonable exceptions for essential services like cremations and farming. The family of the deceased had low income and relied on a donor to cover fuel costs. This act was a final, desperate attempt to fulfill a sacred duty.
