Hi

Think we should all bear in mind that ladders, stools, chairs etc are all designed with 45 kg Thais in mind not farangs.

I have learnt the hard way after having a plastic chair collapse under me plus a metal ladder, although the latter fortunately happened in slow motion but I still finished up on my a**e.

If there is any high work needed on a ladder send the wife up it!

How is he?  I saw the news clip on TV, when I was in Satuk., did not look good, they had to cut the railings to take him to hospital. He had at least 4 spikes puncture him across his back?

Anyone know how he is?
