Ramp

August 3, 2023 Visited Nakhon Ratchasima Railway Station for the first time. Inspected the conditions of #Walkways (station access), #AccessibleParking, #Ramps, #BuildingAccess, #Platforms, #PedestrianCrossings, and #AccessibleRestrooms as shown. Awaiting improvements in the double-track railway project.  

No need to remember how long it has been. This bridge symbolizes inequality. We urge for prompt action to convert the Green Bridge’s stairs into a ramp and address potential safety concerns in all aspects, to ensure that everyone has access to equal opportunities. The following principles should be firmly upheld and vigorously promoted:

I have been a loyal customer of Starbucks for a significant period of time and frequently utilize its premises as a meeting place to work. Given that Starbucks has branches all across the globe, I have high expectations for world-class service standards. However, some of the Starbucks branches in Bangkok have encountered issues in the past, which I have brought to their attention, and the necessary corrections were made in a timely manner.

  From my perspective as a real user and customer, I would like to give you focus review. 1) The slope degree is definitely not correct. It doesn’t the the legitimate law (1:12). 2) The length, highly likely, less than 6 meters. (fit on the accessible law? – need to be onsite) 3) The surface material is slippery which easily leads to an accident. (doesn’t the the legitimate law)

Our body is susceptible to change. Nothing guarantees that your health today will stay the same tomorrow. ‘Tomorrow you may become a wheelchair user like me’. Imagine yourself in a wheelchair and come across a difference in floor height of just under two inches. I am sure that would cause you trouble.

Last year marked quite a busy year as I was invited frequently to deliver speech talks. Any visiting events were built in complete regard to satisfy full accessibility. I give you one ample example at Amnesty Media Award as the followings below: – The slope at the front stage, signifying the highest honour I called this flash arousal ‘privilege’. You know what this, locating at the forefront, is so important. Why? Traditionally, a slope was often located at the backstage or at a hidden place somewhere else far away. Or another popular example, having two (publicly) brand-new elevators with one …

Have been told from the exhibitor that this is the first time for TEDxCharoenkrung with a ramp installed. Plus, this ramp is also made in a proper slope level based on 1:12 Thai regulations.

When you get off a train, there would normally have a gap between the train and the platform. Despite the gap, some trains stop at an unparalleled degree (different height level) to a platform edge. This gap makes it quite uncomfortable and unsafe, but ordinary passengers can still go through it. However, the case is not true for wheelchair users in particular of those having severe disabilities or having a power wheelchair with substantial weight. This hindrance is too risky and they cannot go through it by themselves.

The last time I took a photo of it was about two months ago. There was one step at the entrance which was completely inaccessible for wheelchair user and very risky for ordinary customers to slip on it. I’m a regular of this branch since I usually have a business meeting there. And I used to inform the staff many times regarding this growing concern. Recently I went there as usual and found this problem was fully disappeared. They redesigned a step to become a seamless slope. It’s a simple gentrification with ease of use and cost-effectiveness. I no longer …
