Claim: Video of a woman being buried alive with her deceased husband in Thailand.
Fact: The video shared in the post shows a scene from an old Hmong film series Neeg Lub Txim. The video does not show a real incident of a woman being buried alive with her deceased husband in Thailand. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.

After watching the previous episodes of this Hmong movie, it is confirmed that the scene shows people burying a woman alive as a punishment for conspiring to the death of her husband. Previous episodes of this movie series can be seen here and here.
To sum it up, a scene from an old Hmong movie is shared as visuals of a woman buried alive next to her deceased husband in Thailand.
