Abstract
This research is a persistent effort to find out the possible reasons why some great Thai citizens as well as scientists missed the Nobel Prize but received major Scientific accredition. Many great scientists worldwide have made significant contributions pertaining to science but not received any recognition yet. There has always been a thrust in Thailand to inculcate the scientific literacy through local wisdom, with emphasis on HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s philosophy of sufficiency economy, moral infusion, and the Buddhism way of life.
