Grieving families collected the bodies of victims from the Ladprao brewery fire on July 14, 2025, at the Police Hospital's Institute of Forensic Medicine. Relatives arrived continuously throughout the morning to claim loved ones after authorities completed identity checks and family coordination. One family member was visibly devastated when her niece's coffin was brought out, lighting incense and whispering, "Go listen to the chanting at the temple," moving many onlookers. The family of Ms. Chidchonok (surname withheld), one of the victims, collected her body to conduct religious rites at Sapan Sung Temple in Bangkok's Bang Sue district, accompanied by her parents. Other families continued arriving, some traveling from different provinces, while additional victims' bodies remained pending DNA verification before they could be taken home for final rites. The Pho Thaek Tung Foundation provided vehicles throughout the day to assist families transporting bodies back to their hometowns nationwide.
