I firstly met him almost a year ago when I accompanied with some of my team highlighted that “this fish noodle shop is not just a special one.” Oh yes its taste was excellent but the very unexpected thing was the accessibility of the shop which was incredibly functional. I didn’t face any difficulty coming in and out. It’s brilliant!

Incredibly, steel poles are used to design the boundary of priority parking. I personally just don’t favor this kind of practice. It just looks too seriously. But since many customers are lacking understanding of its role to serve the needed one, it is here as it should be. Those security guards are aware of and know all the rules. They’re willing to protect what is right. Well done sir! …

11 Aug 2017 MBKHave a good chance to visit here at MBK shopping mall for dealing with its priority parking. According to the topic, I met with a MBK’s Security Division Manager to highlight the issues in order to make it right as fast as possible. Since MBK is one of the most well-known shopping malls in very city center, I think it is necessary for them to correct these important works as soon and proper as possible.

According to my previous post, after I reported the issue, I received their feedback so fast just within 3 days stated that “We’re fixing it.” Then I rushed to give them some useful information about what good accessibility should look like and present my own opinions on how to build solid foundation on accessibility in the long-run. So far, the result is quite impressive as seen on the above picture. But there are some concerns as followings;

The case could be dated back to 2007 when a group of PWDs sued BTS for their lack of accessibility, by law. Until now that the Supreme Court delivered decision that BTS must successfully and completely provide elevators, and other necessary accessibilities, at its 23 stations within 1 year (due 20 January 2016.) But, BTS failed to make it completely during the timeframe

This incident occurred at the very same place, The JAS Urban. I’d done my dinner and about to leave here. At the moment, I accidentally saw a pickup truck, on the picture above, was trying to park on a blank priority parking. They came as a whole family without anyone disabled. A woman was getting off the car. I suddenly opened my window and said “Excuse me, you’re parking on a priority parking”

Suan-luang Rama IX’ I began to go for exercise more often at Suan-luang RAMA IX, a public park. Surprisingly, what I found was only 4 priority parking lots in total which were separated into 2 zones. Meaning that each zone had only 2 priority parking for PWDs. It’s such a very few lucky times these priority parking would be free of use and thus I could be able to park on it. Basically, I didn’t want to take it seriously, just observing things happening here.

PWDs car parking in Thailand there’re several problems that we’re facing on: Parking spot quality Incorrectly built spec The understanding & services is low As well as the other basic accessibility, Foodland is the one of the worst ever regarding on the low accessibility never matched to Thailand law and plus never been fixing while we keep telling them.

At the Suwannaphum International Airport, I was waiting to say good bye the other friends. Jeab messaged me that they’re heading to the airport. Surprisingly that I see Khun Yupa & her family (and with a little cute girl & boy + MiyamotoSan!!). Have a great trip back!
