A man carrying dozens of losing lottery tickets and a tank of petrol turned himself into a human fireball at a Buddhist temple.
Peerapong Jirakunarat, 52, walked into the grounds of the religious building in Pattaya, Thailand, before ambling over to the crematorium building at 5am.
He was seen on CCTV carrying a large tank full of petrol.
After briefly walking out of view of a CCTV camera, the Thai local set himself alight, filling the area with a huge flash of light from the fireball.
Shocked monks rushed out and saw the man's body engulfed in flames.
Fire crews arrived and found him still covered in flames slumped against the wall of the Buddhist crematorium.
