Speaking / Lecture

This was some of my talk for students that touched me heartfully during my special lecture on Inclusive Design at DBTM, Thammasat University. During the lecture, We did an experiment illustrating that what would it look, and feel, like to be a disabled. All students were required to perform like in a particular kind of disability such as being blinded and being on wheelchair.

26 September 2020 At Victory Monument, I brought these young students to the ground to give an interview about the rights and equality in getting access. I also provided personal advice from my firsthand experiences. These youths, I admitted, were heavily vibrant and full of creativity. What a fantastic day.

Recently I just got a letter of invitation to give a talk at Thammasat University, Rangsit Campus. Once again, this is not the first time as I used to do so there a year ago. Fresh and vibrant environment, I can’t wait to see the students! Big thanks to Ajarn Nui, DBTM, Thammasat University, Rangsit Campus. The sustainable way to solve a problem is to build the right understanding to the young people at the first place. They will soon take over the society and that a big transformation is just inevitable.

22 September 2020 I was invited to be a special guest speaker to young talents at Faculty of Social Administration, International Programme, Thammasat University, Tha Phra Chan Campus. “Because accessibility and equality matter for everyone.”

I was invited to talk with wonderful kids at Ajarn Andrew’s English class,  let see what story I’d talk with them. This’s my special editing, with extra images to provide. Big thanks to Ajarn Andrew Biggs. Ps. My answer to a missing question: One who wears Finisher t-shirt is one who completed a 42 Kilometers marathon.

Accessibility is a basis of everyone’s life. Although society becomes more diverse and comprises of different groups of people, everyone should have the equal right to access basic facilities (i.e. transportation) to have the opportunity to develop oneself and grow up happily.

In a past few years, we have got contact from Thammasat university, also students who contacted me by them self and professors who asking us to give some special lectures, this year Prof. Han-sa who teaches in ‘UD352-Mega City in the Global South’ also have us a called. “I’m appreciated that professor giving us the opportunity to pass-on our knowledge to the students which is very worth it”, I said that I first met the her.

This international day of persons with disabilities 2019, I received an opportunity to speak on the stage of Thailand Forward Event, organized by the King Prajadhipol’s Institute, about my dream…

We took the students from the Faculty of Architecture, Thammasat University to survey on the city accessibility, traffic system, and public transportations and also I wanted our younger  to look over was social responsibility. For 9 hours, They were very nice and patient. I could feel that they have learned, seen, and experienced an actual ‘disabled life’ in Thai society. From experiencing a real tough life of handicapped persons, some of them cried, some of them had hand injury and some almost fainted from the exhaustment. All lessons they had learned that day would be useful for all architecture designs …

We were invited to educate the students about welfare and accessibility. Before this lecture, I have not had much information about the welfare system. Therefore, I’d worked on it to find the information about the subject and I found out a lot of interesting insights from all networks both globally and domestically.
