This is the mummified corpse of Si Quey, the most famous serial killer of Thai history. His corpse is on display at the Museum of Forensic Medicine Niyomsane Songkran. Si Quey was a Chinese immigrant who moved to Thailand in 1944. Si Quey raped, murdered and then ate the heart and liver of more than half a dozen male children, he beleived that by cannibalising parts of his victims he would become immortal. He was captured and executed by hanging in 1950. After the autopsy, the corpse was filled and covered with paraffin wax to preserve it. Over the years, Si Quey became a bogeyman for the Thai children, parents would scare their misbehaving children by telling them: “Behave yourself or Si Ouey will come for you.”
These anatomically upholstered chairs were created by Paris-based design company AK-LH.
