Hundreds of inventors and tech fanatics take part in a wacky display of their contraptions in Bangkok, Thailand, on January 19.

The event, called Bangkok Maker Faire 2020, is the biggest exhibition in Southeast Asia for inventions and innovations - with participants from around the world attending.

Gadgets on show included an Artificial Intelligence teddy bear controlled by a robot, underwater search submarines, a flashing skeleton suit and a robot dog.

Stalls also encouraged children to make items and learn more about science.

Pairoj Kaweeyanun, CEO of Chevron Thailand which is one of the sponsors of the Bangkok Maker Faire, said the event is a ''collaboration of knowledge'' which brings ''inspiration for the new generation of makers''.
