KMUTT and Chinatown

Today we ended up just visiting King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT)  as our scheduled company extended their New Year’s Holiday to allow their workers to work on repairing their houses from the recent flood ... can't argue with that! We started out our KMUTT time having lunch at KFC (aka KMUTT Food Center). We then toured the Dept. of Production Engineering metallurgical engineering labs. Next, we went to the 14th story office/lab/classrooms of the Institute of Field Robotics (FIBO). We saw a lot of unique robots and even got to “make a robot”. At the end of the day everybody headed out to Chinatown for dinner … always an adventure!
