Accessible Facilities

Fortune Town has already installed elevator at the front of the mall enabled PWDs to get easier access to the metro train!!!

Fortune Town I have to say that disable lift is essentially an useful accessible facility that I have been waiting for long time for it to be installed here. Previously, when people with special needs want to get access to the connected MRT subway, they must take a very detour to pass on a slope in order to get to it.

Skywalk at BTS National Stadium

BTS National StadiumLast Saturday at BTS National Stadium, I took a field survey to observe any updates of a brand-new skywalk connected to MBK, which was still under construction. As I observed, there was no accessible lift from the platform floor to floor ticket, only escalator at opposite side of MBK. Disabled passengers, especially wheelchair users, would have to face troubles getting off the station. They inevitably needed to deploy by escalator which required at least 3-4 staffs to help. This movement on this way could cause from slight injury into risk of serious accident.

There are still 32 elevators to go which each costs around 10 million baht. So, the remaining elevators’ total expense will be around 320 million baht comparatively to the total construction cost of the whole project which is around 60,000 million baht, accounts just 0.5% approximately. This number is compelling to the World Bank’s research as quote “Research has demonstrated that the cost of accessibility is generally less than 1% of total construction costs; …
