With the current cost of living situation in Thailand continuously rising, many recent graduates face challenges in managing their expenses in alignment with the increasing living costs. Food expenses, even for common street food, continue to surge with no sign of decreasing, despite improvements in raw material costs. Pay-Attention is a website platform designed to help recent graduates gain insights into managing and optimizing their food expenses effectively. It provides guidance on how to spend wisely, ensuring cost-effectiveness while maintaining adequate daily nutritional intake, without falling into monotonous eating habits.
ด้วยสถานการณ์ “ค่าครองชีพ” ของประเทศไทยในปัจจุบันมีแนวโน้มพุ่งขึ้นสูงเรื่อยๆ นับตั้งแต่ ยุคหลังโควิด-19 แต่ฐานเงินเดือนและรายได้ของนักศึกษาจบใหม่ ก็ยังคงมีฐานเริ่มต้นเหมือนเดิม ไม่ต่างจากหลายปีก่อน เป็นผลทำให้ประชากรที่พึ่งสำเร็จการศึกษา ในประเทศไทยจำนวนไม่น้อย ประสบกับปัญหาเรื่องการจัดการค่าใช้จ่าย ให้สอดคล้องกับค่าครองชีพอย่างเหมาะสมในปัจจุบัน ทั้งค่าใช้จ่ายคงที่ และค่าใช้จ่ายผันแปร ที่แปรเปลี่ยนไปตามวิถีชีวิตของแต่ละคน มากน้อย ตามความต้องการและรสนิยม ซึ่งเป็นค่าใช้จ่ายที่ต้องระวังและควบคุมการใช้จ่ายอย่างมีสติเสมอโดยเฉพาะค่าใช้จ่ายเรื่องอาหารที่แม้แต่ตามสั่งทั่วไปก็พุ่งสูงขึ้นเรื่อยเรื่อยไม่มีท่าทีจะลดลงแม้ต้นทุนวัตถุดิบจะปรับปรุงก็ตาม

This project presents the development of an automatic recycling machine for plastic bottles and cans, utilizing Machine Learning for packaging classification through image processing, integrated with smart sensor systems for quality inspection and operation control. The system connects to a Web Application for real-time monitoring and control. Once the packaging type is verified, the system automatically calculates the refund value and processes payment through e-wallet or issues cash vouchers. The system can be installed in public spaces to promote waste segregation at source, reduce contamination, and increase recycling efficiency. It also provides financial incentives to encourage public participation in waste management. This project demonstrates the potential of combining Machine Learning and smart sensor systems in developing accurate, convenient, and sustainable waste management solutions.

Stirling engine is the external heated engine that heat is sup-plied externally to the heater part of the engine. Thus, Stirling cycle engine can be employed with various sources of renewable energy such as biomass, biofuel, solar energy, geothermal energy, recovery heat, and waste. The integration of gasifier, burner, and heat engine as a power system offers more fuel choices of each local area with potential resources resulting independent from shortage and cost fluctuation of fossil fuel. This research aims to investigate the integration of the Stirling engine with a wood pellet gasifier for electric power generation. Biomass can be controlled to have continuously combustion with ultra-low toxic emission. Stirling engine, therefore, is a promising alternative in small-scale-electricity production. Even though many biomass-powered Stirling engines were successfully constructed and marketed but these engines and the use of biomass resources as fuel for power generation are quite new concepts in some developing countries. Especially, the capital cost of this engine is high and unaffordable for installation compared to other power systems. Therefore, this research aims to the study attractive and feasibility of the compact Stirling engine with green energy.

This research project aims to study and develop a metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict, Phitsanulok Province. The primary goal is to create a prototype metaverse system that showcases the cultural and historical tourist attractions in Horklong Subdistrict through virtual reality technology. This will help promote tourism in rural areas that are not yet widely known and enhance the modern promotion of tourist attractions in the province. The development of the metaverse system in this project utilizes virtual reality technology to simulate the experience of touring Horklong Subdistrict via a virtual boat ride. Users will be able to access the system through the Unity platform, which is a tool used to develop 3D and VR applications. The system is designed to allow users to choose to ride a virtual boat and visit various places that have been creatively recreated in a virtual format. These locations are designed and developed using 3D models based on real data collected from the Horklong Subdistrict area. This project is therefore an initiative to sustainably promote cultural and historical tourism in Phitsanulok Province. It has the potential to increase income for local communities as well as to disseminate local knowledge and wisdom to a broader audience. The metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict is thus an important project in modernizing the province’s tourism sector and attracting more visitors, both domestically and internationally.
