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.

What is the altitude of Yamiga Thailand?

One can build a tolerance to heat, but only to a certain point. Eventually a certain temple will cause the liquid in your cells to expand and burst the cell wall causing a burn.

I started going all scientific too. Put me in a vacuum with just enough oxygen and flameless heat, I'll sit in water boiling at 110 degrees too. LOL

[NativeSon]

did you see the "j/k" ? maybe I should've wrote "can't read" or "recognize a joke".

Lighten up, I'm old.

Eventually a certain temple will cause the liquid in your cells to expand and burst the cell wall causing a burn.

I'll be sure to steer clear of that temple. Sounds horrible.

I have cooked myself in pot before. I didn’t get burned either. ; /

Ahh, we get it. You prefer to eat children.

[Mears]

Kramer made salad in his shower that time.

[NativeSon]

yeah, I'm not that good at interpreting those acronyms either.

let's agree not cook ourselves; I get myself in enough water as it is

[LukeL]

I guess autocorrect got the best of me, temperature.

He may consider himself a consomme'd pro at this, but the behavior shows a wonton disregard for his health ....
