Watch the Thai pensioner who has mastered claw grabber games at arcades.

Yuripon Tanamatpunsap, 72, said she learned about the machines by visting with her daughter and watching her and her friends play in Bangkok, Thailand.

Footage shows the steady-handed mother being careful and precise as she worked the joystick and buttons of one of the machines at the Setpoint Game arcade.

She grabbed her daughter's choice of toy, first the cow-headed monster and then a dinosaur.

Yuripon said: ‘I sit and wait for them, but I get bored. I saw a doll, but nobody tried to get it out when it looked easy. So I took a coin.

'And put it in. I managed to win the doll. That was the start of everything. It's been six to seven months. I never studied it. All I did was watch people's different techniques.'

The pensioner added she watched and observed the angle at which the doll would have fallen into the hole.

She said: 'I'm self-taught. I don't think I'm good at it. I only find the right opportunity. I don't know how many times I went. I remember I used to go every week. Sometimes in a week, I visit two to three shops.

'If they bring me there, I'd go. At first, I didn't feel anything, but since I started winning, I started to feel like it was fun.'

The claw grabber master said she needs to focus and leave her thoughts while playing to take a doll.

Yuripon said: 'When I play, other thoughts in my brain are put on pause. I only think about the claw machine in front of me.

'It's challenging and it's a good brain exercise. You have to implement different angles. I have been doing it all since then.'

Yuripon has also joined competitions and won as her granddaughter insisted she participate.

She said, 'I didn't think of going, but my granddaughter registered me for the competition. I told her I didn't want to go. I'm embarrassed because I'm old.

'I told her I wouldn't be able to catch anything. She told me ‘it's ok. If you can't win anything, that's fine.' I was afraid I wouldn't be able to win anything from the claw machine, but my granddaughter said, we have already registered you. You have to go.

'And so I went and won three to four dolls. But I was nothing compared to the others. I was in kindergarten, and the others' skills were in university.

'I went there for fun and went there for brain exercise. She told me not to be embarrassed. When I started using the claw machine, I stopped feeling embarrassed.'

Yuripon said she didn't care what other people thought of her.

She said: 'I was focused on the machine. My concentration were on the doll.'
