A video showing an elderly man “cooking himself" in a pot filled with boiling water has been reported by a Russian TV channel.
The man in the YouTube video looks like he is making a big dish of soup with vegetables and people gather around him waiting for a taste.
The TV channel discloses that is a ritual held every year in the town of Yamaga, Thailand.
The 71-year-old man, identified as Kenzo Koya, has been doing this ritual for several years.
He says in the beginning he was affected by the heat which left burns on his body, but with the passage of time and the power of concentration he can now him sit in the pot without scalding or burning his skin.
That “steam” sure looks like carbon dioxide to me.
Gotta be at least 18 and cute!
He’s always been the life of the dinner party locally.
Well-Seasoned Thai Bak Har Soup (back hair)
Man talk about cooking your boys. They must be on the floor of the pot by the end.
Not until the back hair is swimming nicely in a nice skin froth.
A fly calls the waiter over and says “There’s an old man in my soup.”
Punchline #1: “The backstroke.”
Punchline #2: “Is it just me or does this soup taste funny?”
Punchline #3: “Please lower your voice sir, otherwise everyone will want one.”
