Buksida,
ok, maybe I'll try both. Checking the Bkk market, and look aroung here.
Thanks for your thoughts, it's good to have someone acting as the Devil's Lawyer too.
From the ice & snow to the beach...
Well, your heart seems to be in the right place and if you can balance that against a balance sheet, more power to you. You very well may be on the path to give some talented but disadvantaged Thai people an opportunity. PeteSomeone wrote:Pete,
good thoughts.
It makes me more convinced that it's easier to train someone here without a formal education, than trying to convince the educated ones to move to the province.
I mean, there must be good people everywhere? And considering how many who cannot afford a university education, there are probably lots of quality subjects here.
I don't need engineers. I need someone who can solder cables, assemble circuit boards, use a screwdriver. And some more advanced work like operating a lathe and a milling machine. How long does it take to teach a clever boy (or girl) to do that? Just a few days. They don't need four years of education.
Well, thanks for your thoughts.
Someone, if you just need people to assemble, rather than develop ROV’s and are looking at a small scale operation I don’t see why Hua Hin wouldn’t be able to provide that. I would be interested in seeing how you get on.
The most fun I had at Subsea was in the reliability testing of new models; we would crane the thing into an enormous tank of water and see how it could go wrong. It’s not often you get told to try and break something that expensive!
Good luck to you.

Steve G.,
thanks.
I can imagine the helicopter autopilot you used back in the early nineties...
Do you know that you'll get a nice 3D MRU today for approx. 500$ ? And it's about half the size of a matchbox? Or a fluxgate compass for 40$ ?
The world is advancing in some fields, and electronics is definetely one of them.
Yes, assembling is what I need help for. The development is already done. It's all in my head, but I have to hurry to get it down on paper before it's washed out by beer.
I'll keep you updated! And maybe you want to join in? Given a unit profit of 50.000$ and 1000 units/year, there might be room for two farang salaries...
thanks.

Someone, you’re right about electronic developments, I think those autopilots would have been over 50,000 dollars in the nineties, I’ve seen some of the stuff being used in UAV’s now and they get the whole thing on a board weighing 24 grams.
I’m a bit tied up in the aviation world at the moment, but I spend a lot of time in Hua Hin, and I would be interested in seeing how you get along, I would be happy to give any advice that can be of assistance.
Having worked for some years in Asia, I think the biggest challenge for you will be operating a company in the region, and not constructing a product.
I’m sure you’ve worked out you will end up with a work permit that says you are a Technical Advisor or Instructor, and then spend all night building the things by yourself!
As a Technical Advisor in the airline industry, I used to sometimes feel that I was going to have to sprint down the runway with the airplane on my back to get it into the air.
