When police raided a makeshift wooden hut located deep in a jungle, they were confronted with the grotesque living conditions of a secretive cult. There were maggots crawling around food preparation sites, 11 dead bodies in coffins, and some 30 disciples who regularly consumed the bodily fluids of a leader they endearingly called “Father.”
The cult commune was believed to have been thriving in northeastern Thailand’s Chaiyaphum province for at least four years before it was discovered. At its heart was the spiritual leader Tawee Nanla, a white-haired man in his mid-70s whose followers were convinced he possessed magical healing abilities, which led them to consume his feces, urine, skin flakes, saliva, and cigarette butts.
