Photo / Facebook, Charantorn ChaloemkiadTwo German tourists were left embarrassed and apologetic after crashing a funeral reception in Thailand, confusing the venue for a restaurant. Local man Charantorn Chaloemkiad said he was helping as an usher at the traditional event when he noticed the backpackers enter the backyard dinner service. “I went over to speak with them and they asked if the place was a food court,” he said.
