We all know Thailand loves Doraemon, but this story lifts the anime doll's celebrity status to new heights. According to recent Thai media reports, a woman in Ayudha spent 200,000 baht for an elaborate Thai Buddhist funeral for a Doraemon doll that concluded last week.

Yes, that's right, a stuffed doll. Blog Xomba posted an English version of the reports, noting that Plubplueng Ngamchareon, a 48-year-old Thai woman, received the famous blue Japanese anime character from a Buddhist monk when she was in the hospital being treated for cancer three years ago.
