And you thought you had a nasty, dirty job?
Since I live in a Thai 'mooban' someone has to clean the sewers from time to time. BTW, guess where most of these workers are from?

Your right, most of these workers are from Issan. Now relax and enjoy the rest of the photos...
Talk about knee deep in work...
Sometimes you have to smile.
Or even have time for a smoke...
Swim anyone?
Off to another hole!
Elbow boy grease boys.
Thailand believes in equality.
But in the end, everyone loves everyone.
Just remember, shit does happen...

Aren't I happy Thais don't shake hands.
these are the type of workers that can shit and piss in their pants and get away with it.
Occupation-Shit shoveller
Can't get any worse can it?
Reminds me of one of my first holiday jobs, working with my old man. He was a drainer, and we had to remove an old septic tank by hand. Only way to do it was by breaking it down with sledge hammers, after it's contents were pumped out of course.
Still, was a bloody smelly day, one I won't forget.
there but for the grace of .............
Hillbilly, they look fat for Isaarn folk. I hope they have a non-sewer helper to scoop drinking water for them.
In Australia, my efforts as a shoveller of broken shit pipes were amply rewarded, indeed financed the first of my forays as a traveller.
The Navy made me fit, shovelling shit put money in my pocket.
Don't knock it till you've tried it.
The wages here don't work for me though.
More likely from Loas which alot migrant workers come from.
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it!
Rather them than me though.
makes me gag just looking at it
We're talking 1980- 1982, and then I was getting paid $200 a day, cash in hand. Sometimes there'd be a $50 bonus, if things had gone well & the Boss was making good money (which he was). Hard graft, but a useful bonus for holiday work. It would likely be well over double that now.
That was not much less for a days work than I was getting for weekly wages off the navy, after tax. Alright, that was after food, accomodation & retirement fund too.
Actually, you are right. The one guy that I had asked where he was from, well he was from Issan. The next day when I saw the same group cleaned and waiting to catch a ride home, they ALL were from Burma.
I felt to sad to ask how much they made per day, but it won't be much.
What is that on their arms and legs? Grease, mud?
It could be worse . They could be working without buckets .
