    Shocking News , German Found Badly Electrocuted on Thepprasit Road

    German Found Badly Electrocuted on Thepprasit Road




    At 5.30pm on the evening of September 16, Sawang Boriboon medics were called to the Thongcharoen Hardware on Thepprasit Road after a German national had been found badly injured and calling for help outside.

    A crowd had gathered and the victim, sixty-three year old Mr Hans Joseph Jensen, was treated for serious burns and taken to Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital.

    A staff member at the store, thirty-four year old, Ms. Chantana Chinnachote, said the victim was a regular customer who lived nearby. He turned up at the shop bleeding heavily and badly burned and so she immediately called for the rescue services and then looked after him.

    Later on Mr Jensen was able to say he had been on a ladder, at his home repairing a damaged curtain rail, when he felt a huge electric shock that knocked him out.

    When he came round he was able to walk to the shop where he knew people and ask for help.

    He probably slipped off the ladder because he had so many bandages on his legs.

    A lot of old folks still get a buzz from doing small jobs around the house, it keeps 'em busy

    Maybe he got confused when she said she felt a breeze coming through her curtains after she got in from a hard night at the bar

    The word is also sometimes used to describe non-fatal injuries due to electricity.

    But this last sentence is buffalo shit, really...I'm all for changes in language over time, but but being electrocuted "badly" is a joke...I never heard of a good electrocution from the receiver's perspective...

    So he was killed badly?...I don't think so...Even if we could classify his "electrocution" as non-fatal it couldn't, then, have been very bad...

    Because the coont is still alive!...And looking "not too bad"...

    That's a serious injury ! There are a lot of ruptured blood vessels, and that's just where we can see outside the bandages.

    It's all down both legs too.

    Well executed, mate...

    Consider the source. Usually Thai sources don't get literal translations correct.
    But in this case, PattayaOne is a Farang operated service. No excuse.

    Not just Thais...I've heard falangs use it incorrectly all my life...Thought people were dead when I heard it...

    It's been so common for so long that they now have a fooking addendum to the meaning...

    So I suppose it can't be wrong anymore...
