From the 4th of March 2018, Mr. Sao Yang and Mr. Nao Tou Lor brother and brother-in-law were about to go to work. But during they were on their way pass Wat Thamkrabok, the chief of monk at Thamkrabok temple called them in to inform that, if they are Hmong and know any Hmong people who have buried their loved ones at a plot of land close to the temple, their relatives should come over to have a look before they clear the land and dug tombs in that plot of land for other purposes.
Therefore, they decided to take a video clip of the cemetery where Hmong people were put to rest and disseminated on Facebook page to inform Hmong communities worldwide. Mr. Nao Tou Lor said he has counted 16 tombs that are still in good shape and have many more that the structure of the tombs are misshaped. So he guessed it must be over 20.
