Inside the graveyard where thousands sleep on tombstones and kids play with corpses
But it isn't filled with posters and toys like you'd expect - these children live in a giant graveyard, where their beds are made from tombstones and their toys are the bones of the dead.
It may sound like a horror story, but residents say the living conditions are preferable to the nearby crime-ridden shanty towns - despite the fact they live surrounded by decomposing hands and other limbs.While there is no sewage system there is illegally-sourced electricity in the makeshift buildingsSome residents have quite literally carved out jobs in order to make ends meet - etching the names of the newly-dead into tombstones.
The cemetery is so packed with tombs and mausoleums that often a hearse won't be able to reach the final resting place, and mourners will have to carry the coffin themselves to its designated destination.The coffin of Grandma Pasit, who was 72, is being carried to her final resting place - a huge block of coffinsBut it's not just other graves and fellow mourners saying prayers and lighting candles that they'll have to awkwardly dodge.
There are shops selling snacks, drinks and cigarettes - sometimes to leave at gravesides as offerings for the dead - as well as soap and other basics, and there are even karaoke and video games stalls which residents hit come sun down. While they've managed to illegal build electrical wiring into the cemetery, there's still no running water or sewage system.
