Just a small "chassis" but beautiful female mechanic wowing the boys in Korat!

NAKHON RATCHASIMA: -- A beautiful female mechanic in Korat has swapped an office life with AIS for the grease and machinery of a downtown car workshop.

 

Now "Nong Khao Fang" is up her ears in grease and brake pads as she repairs cars in the Hua Talee sub-district of the north eastern Thai province, reported Thai Rath.

 

Thai Rath reporters caught up with her as she was adeptly repairing a wheel and putting on some new brake pads. The news media said she was as good as any man at her job.

 

But Khao Fang - real name Phawida Yainguleuam, 24, - is not just one of the employees. She is the owner of Santi Pha Brake (Brake pads) after she took on the family business of her 51 year old father.

 

Khao Fang did a bachelor's degree in marketing at a Korat university then went to work at mobile firm AIS for a year. Now she is back doing what she likes best.

 

She said that men who come to the shop are often surprised especially as she is quite small but no one complains about her work.

 

She handles brake pads, oil changes, suspension issues and a host of under chassis work.

This reminds me of the 70's back home in Canada when stories would pop up about female mechanics working with in a male dominated field. 40 years later and the same type of stories appear in Thailand. They sure have a lot of catching up to do.

Good luck to her I'm sure this publicity will help her business.

Go phawida

The news media said she was as good as any man at her job.

Never miss a chance to get in a sexist comment. 

 

Hopefully, her work will be judged on her mechanical skills, and not on the size of her "chassis".

Because this is Thailand and the men just cannot accept the concept of equality.

Good Luck to her. Hope she is doing better than many of her male colleagues, who unfortunately frequently <deleted> up my car.

Me too shes a little cutey.  Good luck to her.

Great....but I prefer someone trained as an automobile mechanic and no a degree to work on my cars.  I am sure she would be would be great if she did get this training.  Women should work in this field...but that is no excuse for lack of training.

[12DrinkMore]

Bet she's better than 99% of the male wrench monkeys.

Remember the calendars in the Auto repair shops years ago? Rather softened the blow when they handed you the bill. 

[Aussieroaming]

She is doing an excellent job at marketing, so she listened at Uni too. Good luck to her

It was her Dads business so she would have no doubt have been training ever since she could walk.

[Rhys]

All the best to her.... 

[fruitman]

At least she's not wearing fitflops but why would it be that ALL mechanics in the West wear safetyshoes??

[Si Thea01]

And her qualifications are?  Not knocking her for having a go but before she touched my car I'd want to know that she knew exactly what she was doing.  What redress if something went wrong?  Like most things here, not much.  And no, not Thai basing, just being realistic.

Yes i smell some Thai bashing here mate...so you want qualified mechanics working on cars?? Well wait untill the established users come out to tell you how negativ you are. 

 

She looks good, her father had a brakepad shop and she's thai so of course she's qualified to touch carbrakes.

 

I bet she also can change brakediscs or even make them flat again. She also is qualified for working with hydraulic systems i bet and knows very well how to see if a brakehose is still good or has haircracks. 

 

 

[dotpoom]

Believe it or believe it not...... I know a Big C branch that has a beautiful girl working in it.....imagine that?

I wouldn't call it Thai bashing

This is why I take my Toyota to Toyota who have been trained properly - (for warranty & insurance) Because I would wonder if the rest of them here  would  understand torqueing & velocities ( i wanted my break fluid on motor bike changed (even showed them the service schedule in Thai ) but they said it was ok )

Even though shes a looker her qualifications are that she got some sort of a degree & that her father owns the business ' so not that much difference to the west as i've put up with watching people & non citizens go to Tafe for a course & end up with a job way before a skilled or qualified tradesman

Given your response I find that it's content cannot be taken seriously, you're just having a lend, aren't you?

You are joking right?

Have you actually asked to see the Toyota Genuine Technician's Diploma?

Some of the worst mechanics work in big Brand Name franchises. Some of the best are small independents.

And vise versa. You cannot generalize.

I doubt she learned auto mechanics in her marketing classes, but she did take over her father's business; perhaps he trained her.

[xtrnuno41]

Good work !! But why not use some safety shoes with steel nose. You already use gloves !

Agreed.  Lots of experience, growing up working on cars, driving crap then fixing it and understanding how things work can be a big help too.  Your typical girl won't have that sort of background typically.
