Even with a thriving sex tourism industry, abortion is illegal in Thailand, barring a few exceptions like rape or if the mother's health is compromised by the pregnancy. Naturally, this leads to a thriving practice of illegal abortion clinics, which produce a large number of aborted fetuses that must be discretely disposed of—or horrifyingly backlogged.

Thai authorities found about 2,000 remains in the temple's mortuary, where they had been hidden for a year — apparently to conceal illegal abortions.

A strong stench had drawn police to the temple in Bangkok's old city Tuesday, and authorities searching the mortuary — where bodies awaiting cremation are normally kept — initially found more than 300 fetuses. They returned Friday to find more than five times that number, according to police Lt. Col. Kanathud Musiganont.
