I got a contact from Suphat and Lions Club of Bangkok Bualuang in regard of a donation of an unused wheelchair from a member of the Lomberg family. The former owner is Mike (Mr. Mike Lomberg). In short, Mike used to be a test pilot who later underwent a motor vehicle accident, causing him some disabilities that he’s no longer able to pursue as a pilot. Nevertheless, after the incident, he still managed to acquire a civilian flying license, with the support of installed hand controls.

In case of emergency, natural disaster, or any unexpected hazardous circumstances, how could a person with disability survive in such scenario? A concern I have deeply kept it for so long, and sparked out again due to the recent serious fire on the building in Bangkok two days ago, three people died and many injured. It’s a question I myself could yet give a proper answer. It’s perhaps due to my ignorance, more information is needed to research. Though I knew that there are  numbers of people specifically working in this issue. Generally speaking, there remains plenty rooms for improvement …

Recently I got a call from the management team to provide some further ideas and recommendations regarding the issue. We then sat on the chair at a meeting room and had a very exciting discussion.

Bangkok, a city of global destination, on March 14, 2019, I took my foreign friends a city tour. Before the tour begins, we would like to have some coffee, so we rushed to Terminal 21 shopping mall at A-soke. At the mall’s entrance, which connected to BTS A-soke station, we found a brand-new, and magnificent, coffee shop named CPS Coffee. Its glamour and brilliant design drew our attention to get in. Yet we were unable to do so as it was highly inaccessible. A friend of mine then told that “I came to this shop in the morning, but I …

I’ve informed from our colleague saying that a designated accessible parking at PTT gas station at Chai-ya-pruk Road, Non-tha-bu-ri, is obviously founded to be taken over as a car tent for sale. Then contacted the company for immediate resolution but the contacting officer replied that “I’m afraid that I cannot yet make a decision on this regard, since I have to wait for my superior coming back from abroad first for authority.”

According to the incapability of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the current owner of the entire BTS, that failed to provide adequate elevators and other accessibility facilities on its BTS 23 stations, a group of people with disabilities, for this reason, had prosecuted the BMA and finally won a lawsuit on November 24, 2014. The court thus issued an order to BMA for them to complete, constructed by law, all the remaining elevators and other supportive accessibility facilities within one-year time. As such, the completion should be fulfilled by the beginning of 2016. Nevertheless, the construction remains unfinished to this day, …
