“You’re helping us and you get nothing…” A voice from the Thammasat University law students, year 2016 that I had the opportunity to work with. This is the second time that we are meeting to make an appeal at the Traffic and Transportation Department of Bangkok City (TTD) for the construction of skywalk so that it’s accessible to everyone.

Oct 20, 2016 As a representative of the rights of person with disabilities and the Thammasat University law students 2016 to filed a complaint for the BTS’s skywalk at the Office of Traffic and Transportation.

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.

Students contacted me because they wanted more information about the accessibility issue associated with sky walk. They would like to send accessibility project report to their professor. I asked for all the students have to involved in the project, to let them understand the real problem.
