ONE of the country's best-known amulet makers committed suicide at the end of Buddhist Lent.
Sitthikorn Boonchim, better known as Sia Oud, was found dead in his Phitsanulok hotel room on Thursday night. There were no signs of a struggle or an assault.
He left a suicide note.
“I have not found any virtue and truth in the people to whom I have lent a hand,” he wrote.
The 44-year-old also wrote that he planned to overdose on sleeping pills at the end of Buddhist Lent.
Several empty packs of sleeping pills were found in the hotel room along with cancer medication.
