Although Thailand is not one of the world's rice production. However, Thailand is often the number one rice exporter in the world is always coming. The majority of Thai rice exports in rice, which has the lowest prices of the value chain. One way to add value to Thai rice is  cooked rice is the product of industry. The high cost of medical supplies. The high-tech products to be imported into the country 

in 2550 in the scientific medicine of approximately  90 000 million, excluding medical and pharmaceutical supplies to more than 60,000 million Baht

            The research goal is to make medical products in the country. For the people of Thailand. By using low-cost technology. Natural resources of Thailand. Innovation and look forward to the invention can be patented
