what happens when a foreign person dies in Thailand? who is informed.. ?? for example.. is the Embassy of the home country informed? Is there a death certificate created? Are your last will instructions usually followed if funded? What if you are alone? Tia

I’d like to ask about something that has been worrying me since I moved here. What happens if I pass away in Thailand? I live alone and honestly wouldn’t want anyone from my distant family to go through the trouble and expense of flying here just to take my body home. I would simply prefer to be cremated locally.

Does anyone know what the procedure is in this situation? Maybe someone has had experience dealing with this for a friend or relative?
