Ray MacDonald's Remains Brought to Temple for Water Blessing
The body of Ray MacDonald, a prominent 1990s cultural figure, arrived at Wat Yang Royal Temple on August 20 for a private water blessing ceremony scheduled for 4 p.m., with his widow Sum Sarinya and close friends present.
At 1:05 p.m. on August 20 at Wat Yang Royal Temple, the body of Ray MacDonald, a cultural icon of the 1990s era, arrived from the Medical Examiner's Office at Police Hospital. His wife Sum Sarinya was accompanied by close friends Chakrit Yamnaam and Leo Puth.
Before the casket was lowered from the vehicle, Chakrit tapped on the side of the car and said, "Your friend has arrived, come on," before the coffin was removed. A water blessing ceremony is scheduled for 4 p.m.
Chakrit had previously announced that Ray's water blessing ceremony would be a private affair. After the casket is placed, an evening chanting service will follow as usual.
Chakrit spoke emotionally about Ray and his wife Sum, recalling that before her husband passed away, Sum spent quality time with their children.
