Didn't someone warn him to stay well away from the unsafe shoddy workmanship in Thailand? Poor guy.

Hope he is well

 

Thai - look a loose live cable - pass the "tool"

Other Thai - don't worry we have a lot more of them

a shocking experience for him,  hope he finds the power to carry next time.

He should have ensured that the transformer was isolated before picking it up.
