How close have you come to being electrocuted in Thailand?

we drove past a PEA transformer in the street the other day, and as we were alongside it, it exploded with an explosion like a big bomb!!  a big flash and a huge noise! luckily we were in the car, but the shock had us both shaking for a few minutes. very scary

i attempted garden electrics for lights etc, before solar lights and received a few shocks from these.  luckily a good safety cut box in the house ensured the shock was only very small.  it is essential to have a good safety cut box in the house when it comes to electrics

Daily occurence.  The HP laptop gives me a couple of belts whenever I touch the sides.  Girlfriend's Acer is the same.  Powerstrips keep exploding.  "It cuz you use da water make hot same time can not!"

 

Usually day in Thailand.

Recently plugged in a wet phone charger (didn't know). Sounded like gun fire. The socket was burnt to a crisp. Fortunately my hand was already removed. Thailand's 240v can be deadly. My Thai friend had his arm in a sling for 3 months.
