Moved On

Keith Patten

It was sad to receive the news a few days ago that Keith Patten had moved on to the big workshop in the sky.

Keith had a lovely workshop in Hua Hin Thailand that he built up whilst living here.

I never met Keith but exchanged emails with him. Keith posted a very interesting and useful comment on this website at https://modelengineeringinthailand.com/resources/tools/tools-suppliers/#comment-781 and covered such issues as buying a lathe and milling machine in Thailand and his escapade with Sam of All-Arm Co.

Although I never met Keith he was a friend to me, as you all are, and I sadly miss him.

Please post any fitting comments below.

Please welcome a new member of the Model Engineering In Thailand community, a gentle named Minesh.

I was delighted to receive the following brief email from Minesh:-

Hello Alan

Thank you for your email about model engineering in Thailand.

First apologies for not responding to your first email when I joined your mailing list about a month ago.

I have been visiting Thailand for about 4 years and have been looking to see if any expats were doing any model engineering or RC flying in Thailand. I found your website by accident somehow, I think searching for retiring in Thailand. 🙂

My background is Electronics/Software & Mechatronics for over 25 years as an engineer in automotive and defense aerospace industries.

In my younger days I use to operate lathes and milling machines and now me and my friend in UK have a garage workshop near Loughborough with a big lathe and a miller and the all the usual tools. We like to tinker and make silly stuff in our spare time when we are not busy working.

I go to Khon Kaen and Nakhon Ratchasima every 3 months on average on business and visit family as I got recently married in korat.

Any way keep up the good work on your website about model engineering as its a dying art and only us old farts seems to be interested in it.

Regards
Minesh
