Siam Chon News reported that fire services attended after a transformer exploded into flames in Walking Street, Pattaya last night amid heavy storms.

 

But rather than cordoning off the scene it was simply left until morning for electrical authorities to sort out.

 

Wires were hanging and exposed.

 

Panumat, 28, said no one thought it was still dangerous.

 

He said he saw a male pedestrian felled by a bolt of electricity.

He got up then was struck again.

 

Sawang Boriboon found the man in a pool of blood as the rain lashed down and sparks flew.

 

They gave first aid then transported him to hospital.

someone should be hammered for this if true .... what the heck were the utilities / and authorities thinking ?

why didn't the fire brigade call the PEA / or if they did, why didn't the PEA attend and disconnect power ?

 

something is missing in this story .... who was in charge at the time ? 

It was raining, the fire brigade didn't want to get wet

Besides we do fires not electricity

Mr CP wants more quality tourists into thailand.....that's so thai, thinking they belong to the best destinations while they even can't build a safe sidewalk...there's danger from above, beneath, left and right.....better go to Europe folks where all is safe and perfekt and even cheaper.

RIP Mr. Panumat

 

Sadly this photo is an accurate "poster child" for Thailand in general

FUBAR most of the time
