Not surprising seeing most of the electrical work in these parts. Nice to see the boy was spared...maybe the village chief will institute some electrical safety training in his fiefdom after this.

Lucky he didn't croak.

RIP. At least he was trying to make an honest living. Hope the boy is not scarred for life. Must be the fault of farang set and their passion for the legs.....

I want to say Krama, but I think this could also happen to anyone.

Why do you say that...go to any Thai wet market and you will see frogs for sale for human consumption.
