Tree felling Isaan style

[Will B Good]

These guys turned up to fell some trees next to our property...........at 10 pm last night, pitch black, with one torch?????

 

No.............come back in the morning...............they just carried on.

 

A smaller tree than the one shown, crashed down almost hitting our outside kitchen, but still snapping off a standpipe leaving us with no water.

 

Off they went.

 

Back in the morning.....illegal chainsaw, flip-flops, no safety harness......nothing.

 

They wanted to fell the tree shown in one go, but finally decided to thin it out before felling. One huge branch snapped off missing the guy below by inches.

 

All very entertaining.

You said there were tree fellers. I can only see two?

All standard tree felling operating procedures up here in Isaan, nothing to worry about.

Tree trimming in Chiang Mai isn't too much different other than they don't use ladders and they appear smart enough to attach a rope to the tree they are downing so it can be pulled away from doing any property damage.
