February 17, 20251 yr Picture courtesy of Voetbalprimeur Suphanburi FC striker Uker van Lingen had an electrifying experience that was far from expected. During a routine post-match interview, he was shocked—literally—when a live voltage turned his momentous performance into a safety scare. Van Lingen had just been named man of the match after helping his team secure a 3-0 victory over Pattaya United in the Thai League 2. But as he began his post-game interview on February 15, accepting a microphone caused a sudden electric shock, knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, despite the dramatic fall, he only sustained a sore right shoulder. The incident unfolded in front of fans and left everyone holding their breath. Van Lingen was quickly attended to and taken to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for checks. After moving from intensive care to a regular room, X-rays confirmed he had no fractures, much to the relief of supporters. "Madam Pang," the proactive President of the Football Association of Thailand, immediately addressed the shocking event. To ensure such accidents are not repeated, she has ordered stringent safety inspections across all venues. Pairit Tanpairee, Head of Competition Control, personally visited van Lingen to relay the league's concerns and ensure his well-being. Fortunately, the star is expected to make a full recovery, with his sore shoulder being the only lingering issue. Madam Pang is resolved to fortify safety measures. She stressed, "No harm should come to our athletes, fans, or anyone involved in professional football." This incident has sparked a vital conversation about enhancing safety protocols to protect the game's treasured players and fans, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-17

It's not rocket science; properly rated circuit breakers + RCDs + surge protection - and you should sleep a bit better. Up to the point of entry to the building, I'm inclined to agree with your statement.

February 23, 20251 yr No enforcement and AFAIK not even any proper standards. However, my point is that the building owner (wherever the interview/ press briefing took place) could have taken the initiative by installing RCDs at the switch box and doing some regular inspection & testing of electrical appliances*. 99.9% chance this incident would never have happened. * my definition of "proactive"

February 23, 20251 yr I seem to remember reading on this forum once that in Thailand, every residential building should have a document from a local government agency certifying that the building is fit, ie ready, for human habitation. Does someone know if this is true and which agency issues the certificate?

What you are talking about is Aor. 6 but this is only for controlled buildings condominium, commercial building, educational building, etc. not for a home you have built there is nothing to say your home is built and complys to a standard

Therefore, before buying or renting a condo unit, would it be wise to ask to see the Aor.6 and perhaps even get a copy of it? What is the Thai spelling of Aor?

To ask the Condominium Juristic Person office for it, it would be helpful to know the Thai spelling of the document. I doubt that the office staff or the staff at the "land office" or "a good lawyer" would be familiar with the your romanised transcription Aor.6 I searched the worldwide web for it but found nothing useful.
