Thailand may not be famous for innovation, but there are many talented inventors in the Kingdom. At "Thailand Inventors' Day 2023", visitors will be impressed by inventions by Thai innovators such as a special oral hygiene set for bed-ridden patients, a smart gun for formalin detection in food, microneedles with customisable features, plant-based minced dried meat and a colourimetric LAMP-XO for quick diagnosis of African swine fever.
With over 1,000 inventions from Thai and international innovators at the event, highlights include two innovations which won the grand prizes at the Seoul International Invention Fair 2022 (SIIF), South Korea. The first was a mobile negative pressure isolation room made by researchers from the King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and a device called Lang Prom for people who have office syndrome and back pain, invented by students of Chulalongkorn Demonstration School.
