In a video shared on YouTube, Thánh explained how he used scrap materials to build his UFO-shaped boat. The project took him about a month. The inspiration to build the futuristic boat started when Thánh said he first saw a saucer-like boat in his dream and decided to get to work and build the boat to make his vision a reality.

“I made my own flying saucer-like I saw it in my dream and running on the river was so much fun,” Thánh said on YouTube. He added, “Make your own flying saucer-like dreaming about running on the river and have great fun.”
