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.

The frogs revenge?

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.....

Poor kid. I hope he recovers.

The frogs revenge?

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

Must be the fault of farang set and their passion for the legs.....

Don't forget that French just copied English about eating frogs...

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

Bugger you. You stole my line, I was going to use something like that.

Water and electricity in Thailand is a death trap. RIP to the victim and the frogs.
