Where's the robot they built to clean beaches? Haven't seen him anymore after the introductions. Is he still alive?

Robot, haven't heard of this. If true, it was probably made from quality recycled Thai metal scrap, and consequently been all rusted/seized up.

Last year the KMTU build a beach cleaning robot...they built it themselves cause that was much cheaper than one from overseas.

 

It was tested on jomtien beach iirc and they would build more of them.

Foreigners introduced the lovely ideals of trash, mindless consumption and unnecessary accumulation. 

 

Kind of a twist on Civilising Missions. 

 

Ain't it grand.

wife's office is at the local port, I often go down to say hi during the day and watch those fishing. Its not unusual to see mum and dad rock up with their rods and several bags of household rubbish. The rubbish gets thrown into the water on the inside shallows of the jetty then they take their rods and start fishing on the other side, rubbish is simply thrown where ever they want, thais have no respect for their country as can be seen by all the crap they throw on the streets, gutters and any waterways. Its also seen when they do it overseas when on tours, they do what ever is easiest for them.

How can people that have no respect or shame for themselves be expected to have respect for anything else, you cant change a leopards spots.
