Believe it or not, a virtually good fish ball, rich in texture and mild in flavour, is so rare to find. But I found one. It happened about two years ago when I roamed around Rama2 area of Bangkok and randomly encountered with a local noodle & fish ball shop. I was first amazed by its high level of accessibility, considering that it’s local. Be it a slope, a toilet, or even a seat table and many more.

We’ve done an epic Facebook LIVE at Asoke intersection, a heart of Bangkok considered as a gateway to Thailand. Our special guests, Ben and Cordia, were experts in this field. Both are giving lecture at Thammasat University where Ben is an architect while Cordia is specializing in Service Design. During the end of the LIVE, an unexpected show-up of Mr. Mal, an Aussie gentleman, had provided a more candid feedback toward the topic.

The image had been taken during the beginning of October. Last year, Boat continued his degree in the UK for one year and now he’s recently graduated and headed back to Thailand. Some of you might already recognise our group of #TranslationForChange Teams. And Boat is one of them who has been active for almost two years, mainly translating from Thai to English. While he was in the UK, he remained so active in helping this. It’s another example that our world today is absolutely boundless, we can work from almost anywhere.

I haven’t come here for two months. Today I decided to make a comeback to have some exercise. Before that, I did some preparation: have a food and sleep. This time, I changed to Lumpini Park, a wonderful park in the heart of central Bangkok, and achieved two rounds in total: 10.12km + 5.49km. Since it had been a bit long living on a busy life with no exercise, I could feel a bit hurtful and not as enduring as before. Anyway, a bit of water and energy drink could lift up my energy to accomplish my speed wheel. And …

I got tragic news of Taiwan high-speed train derailed. The news read that the driver admitted he shut down automatic train protection system in an attempt to compensate for the previous delay. The accident costed 18 lives of passengers, many injured. Accordingly, today I would like to stress a concern on human error. Taking about humans, we are undoubtedly the topmost of all the food chain, the most intelligent creature this planet has ever seen. Yet mankind is still under some, if not many, limitations. For instance, if we were asked on the afternoon that what we had for breakfast, …

The “Accessibility Is Freedom Fundraising” project by Khun Awn who initiated this idea on year 2017 and 2018 was the 2nd anniversary.

Last year teacher Ben sent me a message describing self-introduction. He is a special lecturer in Inclusive Design Innovation, in Design Business Technology Management (DBTM) course, Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Thammasat University. He invited me to give a special lecture to his students as a guest speaker which I was fabulously happy to do so, yes this is a sustainable way to solve many kinds of social problem is to create a new generation, transforming them to be a problem solver.

“My dream city is a fully inhabitable city that works for every citizen who can happily live with equality”, said one of many phases I told a group of 102 sophomores from the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Thammasat University. I was given a wonderful opportunity to attend as a guest speaker here for the second consecutive year. Before the day, I arranged a meeting with Teacher Ben to discuss on how the contents should be structured as well as the main goal of the lecture. We intended to raise awareness, make critical understanding, and build deep inspiration toward the …

I became a disabled when I turned 24 due to a severe motorbike accident. After I leaved the hospital I suffered in the aftermath that compelled me to go through a routine of serious operations oftenly almost every single years. It raised my inner fear and formed a new set of habit of completely avoiding to cause any physical risks: no exercise, no continual physical movement. Decades later, until two years ago, my health condition showed a downward sign that I barely ate and hardly slept well. I was also too easily allergic to so many foods which was unprecedented …

I usually meet with new people whenever I leave my home and be open-minded. Today, during my returning trip by BTS skytrain, I met with a lovely family traveling to the A-soke station. I wasn’t decisive about their nationality, so I greeted them in Thai. They’re finally Singaporean who recently changed their travel plan from Rat-cha-da Night Market to a shopping mall at A-soke due to the raining.
