Thread: A family stalemate

The wife and I just had a headed discussion. Over what?

Exactly, what has a Thai person invented?

I say nothing.

The wife says that she will sleep with the daughter tonight.

So exactly what is a Thai invention? Hell, I may be wrong...

Thai women can be moody sometimes.
Got the same response when I made a similar comment.

There has never been invented anything of real importance in Thailand. There is speculation that rice cultivation was "invented" in Thailand, although it is impossible to be 100% sure of such a claim. Most likely, even that was a copy… The tuk-tuk was invented in Thailand, but that is only a motorized rickshaw, one part copied from India and the other part western.

They did invent the 'smiling coup' though.

Careful HB: this is Scampy's turf...only he can live out his life's dramas live on TD...

The Thai language.

Prosthetic legs made from ring pulls

The King has patented a rain making device, I believe. They used it over Hua Hin a year or so ago.

Deck chairs made from recycled tyres. They're great.

Dustbins made from recycled tyres.

As ER says debatable,
For instance stellae with a similar script to that supposed to have originated with Ramkamhaeng have been found in Laos and dated to an earlier period

I already covered that in my first post, it's not exactly a Thai 'invention'.

I think the bum gun is a very worthy contribution to global technological advancement and bottom cleanliness.

Harsh. Most inventions are merely the recombining, reconstituting or reimagining of existing technologies. The Tuk-tuk's merely an example of that, doesn't make it any less of an 'invention' though.

Inventors day is celebrated on 2nd February each year in Bangkok

So we've got the tuk tuk and slippers with cloth on the bottom. Any more?
