Since I was young, I have always had a passionate interest in reptiles such as dinosaurs and turtles. During my Easter break, I spent a few days in Phuket observing turtles that are unable to swim or be left unsupervised due to various disabilities. These disabilities were caused by interactions with plastic waste in the ocean, which is a significant concern globally. Witnessing the impact on these turtles sparked my curiosity and inspired me to help them. This led me to the idea of creating attachable devices to assist these turtles so that they can swim again.
This was a project run by a group of friends back at Bangkok Patana School, a charitable organization aiming to make a positive impact on the world. During the early summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to help them with one of their projects, which involved collecting trash from the ocean in Pattaya and Rayong provinces. The project was supported by SCG Chemical (SCGC), a leading petrochemical company in Thailand.
