tim armstrong Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 its well known that the bum gun is their main invention. oh and a global network of massage parlours staffed by thai gals but generally speaking they're to greedy and selfish to invent something for the benefit of others . but i would be interested to know about any famous thai philanthropists in their history. any wealth is likely to be given to monks like nen kham and not benefit the population I think the Thai medical scientist behind 'Cabbages and Condoms' restaurants is an innovator and does admirable work.

He definitely does a great job dodging abortion laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sustento Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Ping Pong shows. Can't think of anywhere else in the world that did that. You've obviously never been to Bugis Street. When? 50 years ago? Definitely not today. The poster's words were "Can't think of anywhere else in the world that did that" which implies that it happened in the past. The last time I was in Bugis Street while it was still ping-ponging was in the early 80s. It was redeveloped a few years later I believe.

puukao Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Interesting question. Actually, before this place was called "Thailand" there were people who created, and used, time traveling machines, dna splitters, cloning devices, texts, anti-aging products, and even used flying cars. unfortunately, Leonids, the king of meteor showers, destroyed everything......and there are only a few fossils found deep in the jungle. once i find them i will be rich!!!!

soomak Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 There are many countries that are not yet Industrialized. According to the Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book, the following nations are classified as industrialized or developed countries: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holy See, Hong Kong – China, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. There are a lot of countries on this list with few or no notable inventions. It's apples to oranges if you put this question into perspective. Non-Industrialized: How many inventions come from Malaysia? The Auto Wudu Washer is one, but is it really an invention to make a bucket at the end of a drain? How about the Philippines? Actually, quite a few inventions. The Karaoke Machine, Incubator, Lunar Lander, Erythromycin...really inventions though? Industrialized: Holy See? Catholicism, naughty priests? Monaco? The Casino, A pump spray bottle? Can't really compare San Marino, Lichtenshtein or Monaco (with a population of 100,000 people or so) to countries such as USA, Germany or the UK. Take out the 10 countries with very small populations on this list, and the rest will all have strong scientific communities (maybe with the exception of Turkey and Greece).
