Accessible Restroom

I did make a count down since I made a field survey days ago. By far, I yet received no contact from them. Nevertheless, all Makro branches, 90 stores, must be fully accessible within 3 months of time, and must be constructed perfectly and correctly by law. If you guys get around some of its branches, you can send us an updated image of them. We will make a constant field survey to update the improvement as well. Constructing correctly, according to the law, is just a minimum requirement. If they can make it beyond the minimum standard, the better. …

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;

After exploring the overall of the mall, I had to delivery my compliment to its management team as its accessibility was systemically in top-notch level. Let’s take a look on the following;

There is sometimes I need to use a restroom when I take a ride on MRT blueline. I have been traveling by using the metro train for very long ago. Just like you, there are some times I need to use a restroom in urgency. Well, but the disabled restroom is always closed while the rest are all open freely. There is always a sign stating that “Out of service. Sorry for any inconveniences.” I don’t know what is the logic behind this but it’s such an incredibly wrongdoing. It should be all open all the time during service hours.    

Last weekend I went in visited the Central WestGate department store for 2 days. At the Saturday I’ve found that the priority restroom door locker won’t work. I’ve to let my girlfriend watched out the door for me. On Sunday I went there again and still found it wasn’t fixed yet.

Public restrooms, almost all of them built with a none standard even in Thailand we have a very good accessible law clearly defined since very long time.

Since I passed by this department store everyday, let’s give them a try. “The Int Department” that locate before the Bhumibol 1 bridge.
