You don`t see them in Cambodia because there was no phones before mobile phones or there is no internet or cable TV. Most of Thai electrics outside are properly fitted. They even have insulation in 20 kV lines and lightning conduction wire, that doesn`t exist in Europe. Different thing is how electric are installed at the houses. There is only single isolation in refigerator wire and the wire is switched in non-earthed socket. There is non-earted sockets in the bathroom without recess for the plug and without a deck. Stone floor exist everywhere in the house and it conduct the electric very well. Even fuses don`t exist in some coutry farm houses. Fuses and earthed sockets in the bathroom and kitchen are demanded everywhere in western Europe since 1940`s. Those hunging wires are phone lines and TV/internet cables.

The temperature in Thailand is HOT which can and will dehydrate you further if you don’t take care. Foreign food, foreign microbes, burning the candle at both ends, endless sight seeing, and a host of other things can and will come back to haunt you if you don’t take care….and even if you do take care to prevent sickness there is always the unexpected and in Thailand that could be anything from an over amorous elephant, a motorcycle taxi running you over, and you did see my article about Thai electrical wiring right?
