The Thai inventions are truly worth a discussion.

Thailand, along with being a top-rated tourist destination, also offers several other things which do not get the due recognition. To be very precise, the country has gifted us with plenty of innovative inventions over the years. In fact, some of these have also gained a lot of popularity in various other parts across the world. So, without any further ado, let's have a look at five brilliant inventions that we can give credit to Thailand for.

The Polyethylene Prosthetic Leg: The polyethylene prosthetic leg, which has brought a revolution in the medical field, is one of the most important inventions from the Land of Smiles. It was invented by the renowned Thai orthopedic surgeon Dr. Therdchai Jivacate. He invented this for the amputees living in the rural areas of Thailand. These prosthetic limbs are of high quality, but available at a very low price.

Tuk Tuk: Tuk Tuk, a three-wheeled auto rickshaw, is the most popular transportation option in Thailand, especially the city of Bangkok. The two-stroke vehicle has an engine (with low emission levels) that runson LPG. In fact, this vehicle has emerged as a recognized symbol of Thailand. It is also used for the transportation of goods for short distances. Nowadays, the Tuk Tuk can be seen in various other countries in the world.

Red Bull: Red Bull, sold by the Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, is now considered as the most popular energy drink in the world. But this drink is actually a modified version of the Thai energy drink named Krating Daeng. Introduced by Chaleo Yoovidhya, Krating Daeng is a sweet and non-carbonated refreshing drink that still gets sold in several countries across Asia. It is prepared using water, caffeine, taurine, cane sugar, inositol and B-vitamins. Along with all these, the Red Bull contains some other ingredients such as glucuronolactone, sucrose, alpine spring water etc. as well.

Operating Table for the Elephants: The elephants are considered as holy animals in Thailand. So, it's quite obvious that the Thai people would be concerned about the treatment process of these huge animals. Yes, Thailand has come up with an operating table where the elephants can be laid down easily for the operations. The table is attached to a pulley-system which helps the surgeons to do their works with comfort.

Hercules Graphics Card: Hercules Graphics Card is a computer graphics controller combining the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter with bitmapped graphics mode. This was invented by Van Suwannukul's company Hercules Computer Technology in 1982. Although invented for displaying the Thai alphabet on a computer, this card is now widely used by the computer users from all around the world.

Now, let's wait to see what the Thai inventors offer in the years to come.
