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.

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.

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.

[RandolphGB]

I don't see the relevance of them being a ladyboy.

 

A person was killed because of someone else's incompetence, greed and disregard for safety.

The wisdom of Thailand has no borders.... Time to educate and get rid of all electric cables above the ground...Make it safe for everyone

If the Brown Envelope is thick enough there will be no charges !

Why does this forum have to constantly misgender trans people in your news reports about them? 

 

And this is the to the forum mods.

Asean Now did not write the news report, rather copy paste from Thai Rath.

RCBO's and proper grounding, there we go again.

Electricity is a silent killer, one mistake and you could end up .. dead.

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.

Actually no. 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.

I have no knowledge of MENSA! Is that a MEN Seeking Alternatives electrifying group?

Then how about don't just copy and paste it then.... I mean it can't be that difficult

[darksidedog]

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.

Were they successful ?

Would have been better trying to switch the current off , rather than pulling him off .

  Did they charge him for that ?

Just a point of interest as there was a lot of them hanging around there.
