I would submit that climbing over a dangerous rail just for some hot water in an already hot country is a dumb thing to do.
You should have gone to law school.
Oricha can we get a photo of this wacky hot water setup?
I don't think your argument that this is the landlord's fault is as clear cut as you think.
Had you climbed over the railing and done this before or was this your first time?
could you not have just poked the switch with a long switch or paid a young spry tuk tuk driver 2000 riel to do this?
Of course, you have to see how stupid and dangerous the situation is, the way the heater is out on the wall, and the absurdly high and slippery fat timber rail seems deliberately designed to try executing tenants, no kidding !!!

Now, I am stuck on the ground floor, and cannot yet climb upstairs conveniently to photograph the thing...
Anyway, of course, in hindsight, I really understood that I should have asked the landlord, who lives right here, to have installed a switch.
Anyway, you have no idea how debilitating a broken femur is... You lose all muscular function after the surgery. Only now, two months after the accident, am I able to flex my knee to ninety degrees, and stand up on my right leg and to dangle my left one. I exercise several times a day, but the quads and hamstrings are still contracted and limp at the same time. You have to wait till the doctor says the x-ray shows good bone fusion before you can start stepping with body weight on your leg. Putting weight on it should start happening next month, and I can hopefully begin walking little by little again. The leg seems one or two centimeters shorter. This happened to my eldest brother when he was in his thirties. He limped for at least five years afterwards... Lots of fun...
My goal is to be riding a bike by the end of the year...
