CHIANG MAI: -- A man from the hills of Chiang Mai may not have been formally educated but he has come up with an imaginative idea to save time and money.

 

Sommai Wattanametha, 27, has adapted the back wheel of a motorbike so that it can haul up lettuce from a patch that he farms with his brother in law.

 

What used to take workers 15 minutes is now achieved in just 30 seconds. And there is no need to pay the 1,200 baht for hiring them to carry the loads up the valley in Mae Rim.

 

Netizens praised the idea noting that you don't need a university degree or even a high school certificate to have good ideas.

Another example of technology taking jobs away from human employees just trying to feed their families.

 

Yes, that's sarcasm...maybe.

[Gandtee]

A vocational student? An example of critical thinking. Well done. Great stuff!

[Petmag]

What a great labour saving idea.. Well done that man..

[jippytum]

These farmers work really hard in difficult terrain and the retailers  get the profit

Those plants are cabbage, not lettuce.

Great job dude. like I always said ( two years in Nam) give these folks a pile of water buffalo poo and they can build a temple. I find most ( at least here in Issan ) extremely ingenious.

Even if the original idea was not his, he has used it to improve his life. There are very few original ideas, only different applications. 

 

Well done that man!

[hansnl]

And thereby delivering the message that mechanising means less jobs.

In a small way, that is.

Heath Robinson would be proud of him.

Perhaps he should be given the job of a Government Minister charged with problem solving?

Nancy, you shock me.  

 

These are lettuces, not cabbages. Cabbages are Brassica Oleracea and these are clearly Lactuce Sativa 

 

Have you been cooking Thai/Chinese food all these years getting the two mixed up? 555
