I seen them clean properly on many of the islands its easier to teach someone to work properly then to invest in this Robot. Not to mention they are now talking about labor suplus problems so why give more low jobs to machines. 

Can you name those islands? Ive only ever seen 2.

Ko Mak and Ko Kood.

having trashcans on a beach may help also 

I'd agree with that, although isn't the usual line that they're a "security risk"?

Having said that, it doesn't stop someone burying an explosive device on the beach, under the sand.

I am 62 years old and can remember my local beach cleaning  with a machine similar to this but driven by a guy and that was over 50 years ago. How far behind are the Thai authorities ?

A 'Roomba' for the beach. Next will be the video of a 'soi dog' riding on top.

You don't get it, Thailand will become the hub of robotics so they need to build them first right?  

 

But this machine even has to stop driving to get a bottle out of the filter, and the collectingcompartment will be full within an hour (full of shells that is). 

 

But engineering takes testing and improving, that's what they'll do now. Strange that the name of the sponsor is not printed on the machine.

Importantly, the robot can be built locally, saving import costs from having to import.

 

Better to import as it would save money on the long term as Thai quality fai ls.

 

Having a Honda Civic, April 2017, made in Thailand. Last Sunday the 2nd battery broke down. Warranty ??? Not on already changed parts but the warranty of the car expires in April 2018. Average life time of a Honda, Thailand made battery is just 4 months. Crazy 

 

Now, the 3rd battery, having an imported battery from Germany, made by Bosch with 3 year warranty !!!

 

Last week, a friend of my wife called me, as he found part number 710 under his  brand new, Thai copy of the Isuzu, Thai Rung Adventure. Asking me if I knew what part 710 is for... He then send me a picture.

Messy tourists... Thais litter everywhere.

Errrr- Thais are tourists as well- there's a huge internal tourist industry. 

[jsgatse]

Let me guess...when it's full they dump it right on the beach in a big pile...

How long will it be before this robot beach cleaner will be having an unplanned  rendez-vous with the Thai submarine?

 

Or perhaps runs over a sleeping tourist or two, or even worse, runs over a stray dog?

Are you sure you're on the right thread? Made in Thailand is quality pure.

Now if they make it 10 times bigger it could clean a long section of beach. With only a couple of passes. It looks like it works, but too small and slow. 

[Stargeezr]

This is a good concept and the small size is great to see if this machine can do a beach and not

just spin out and need towed by some 4 wheel drive tractor. Bigger machines can be built in

the future. Good start..

We bought a new house in a moobaan, the day after moving in the doorbell stopped working...that day the projectdeveloper sent a guy to us for some signature they needed so suddenly he just walked into the house without using the doorbell.

 

I sent him out and told him to use the doorbell (which didn't work obviously but i didn't know it), i expected him to apologise and send a repairman for the bell...the bell was not in the full warranty of 1 year on the house so we had to fix it ourselves.

 

I never buy made in Thailand, it's a guarantee for broken within a week.

[riclag]

This is much better purchase than a sub.

[Thongkorn]

WE already have them On Skeggy beach in the UK.

You would still need a person to gather up all the 7/11 bags and Chang bottles left at the tree trunks like some kind of  ritual offering. And a  rake.

I think they should try garbage bins placed at regular intervals and emptied regularly. Seems to work in my country.

Then 2 or 3 Burmese ladies cleaning the rest. 

[Lumbini]

Will give them a good excuse to cut down more beautiful trees in the name of progress [emoji37]
