All right Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Not necessarily that it's greed. Is the youth, lack of education and poverty. Poor guy.We need to find those who invented it and punish. The whole story reminded me of a passage in a book of some English author: as the rich in the omnibus said that if a beggar boy will not leave, they will give him a coin. Very sad.

jerojero Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 What a tragic waste of a young life. Yet again you see greed overcoming any thoughts about safety.Yes, likely coupled with pure ignorance of electrical, especially those "big wires high up on poles" .

It's sad that a man is so poor that he's prepared to risk his life for a not huge, even to a Thai, potential payday. 20 years old....what a waste and so sad. Ignorance of the danger of electricity, so remote from that 2 pin wall socket, may well have been a factor.

Just be glad if you are not one of them. Well he did have 2000 Baht to hire a vehicle didn't he? I feel for the people your refer to (I don't think this guy was one of them though).

Good PR and good for the family. Not sure if companies do things like that in Thaialnd. What 9,999 baht, do you think Thai companies are stupid?

Deserted Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Pretty rough but I once saw an enormous punch up of nearly 250,000 people one day on the outskirts on Bangkok. I just got bigger and bigger, over 100,000 people died after they got beat up and that was only after an argument broke out about 2 Baht 50 Satang.
