In my village in Isaan a guy was annoyed because people were coming on his land to steal his ducklings.   So he rigged an electric fence around their pen. He turned it on at night and switched it off in the morning. Except one morning he forgot and when his wife went to feed the ducks she was electrocuted and died. Sad because they had two young boys.  I always wondered what would have happened if the duck thief and been electrocuted. Would it have been manslaughter?  Anyway, suffice it to say that electrics in Thailand are in general quite often dodgy.</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 13:29:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Technology,  Data Centers,  and Life without Parole</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395454-technology-data-centers-and-life-without-parole/?do=findComment&comment=20525769]]></link><description>"BlackRock CEO Larry Fink met with Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin in New York on September 19, 2023, during the UN General Assembly."
