The mother whose own son pretended he was dead to con her out of 60,000 baht for his coffin has spoken to the Thai media.
It appears that she is set to forgive him saying that he is her own flesh and blood after all.
She said she didn’t know why he would do such a thing and on a recent visit had not mentioned money troubles.
The man was pictured lying down with cotton wool stuffed in his nostrils – it was suggested online that he was in this state because the wife couldn’t afford a coffin.
The money was soon sent along with the cost of transport. Relatives clubbed together to pay for the temple in Lampang while ex schoolmates of the son raised further funds to help the family.
Everyone was in tears – especially the tearful mother – but it was all a con.
“It’s over, it’s over,” the mother snapped at reporters. “I don’t know why he did this.
“I saw him and his wife a week ago after they came up by train from Ayuthaya. I took them to a temple and for dinner. They slept over before going back south – they never mentioned any money troubles.
“When I heard he was dead I was distraught. All I could think of was having his body back here and I transferred the money to his wife.
“It’s finished – it was not much money after all”.
Earlier she had been reported as being likely to forgive him. She had said that when all is said and done he is still her flesh and blood.
