webfact Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Thai Rath joined other Thai media in reporting an incident that occurred on the night of Halloween in Chiang Mai. At about 1 am on November 1st in a privately owned car park near an entertainment venue in Chang Pheuak a group of ladyboys and their friends were preparing to go home. One ladyboy with long black hair dressed in black was squatting when he toppled over backwards into a fence. He was electrocuted. It was caught on CCTV. Friends tried to pull him off but could not due to the current. One succeeded by putting a plastic bag on their hands. Picture: Thai Rath Twenty six year old Wichanan was unconscious but a pulse was returned after CPR. He was taken to Maharat hospital but later died. News about the incident was surpressed but emerged on social media sparking a police investigation. The owner of the pub said the car park is not their responsibility. The car park's owner said it was connected to lighting and there had never been a problem before. Chang Pheuak police said that if the law was broken there would be a criminal prosecution for negligence. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-11-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Am i reading this correctly ? the fence was electrified from the mains power !! ? hope the owner gets charged with manslaughter if that's the case. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News is for entertainment and they probably think that it makes it more interesting to describe them in detail. Why say where it was or when it happened? Why say the car park was private? Why not just say that someone was electrocuted somewhere in Thailand recently? Actually, why report it at all? For people who might go to the car park and be in the vicinity of the fence? It doesn't even specify which venue it was. The whole piece is irrelevant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else you wish to try in an attempt at disparaging me? The ladyboys I know are customers of my wife's business. There aren't too many black people in this country and to my knowledge none of her customers are black. If she did have black customers and I came in contact them I would form an opinion on them. Unlike yourself who attempts to have an opinion on someone you've never met. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post darksidedog Posted November 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2022 A number of posts in poor taste have been removed, along with righteous and unrighteous replies.. It is not funny when people are electrocuted, even less so when they die. This forum expects a little bit of decency and respect for the dead. It might be more appropriate to be questioning how such a fence came to be and what if any warnings were posted along its length. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
