Issues & Problems

BTSSince its operation, wheelchair elevators have been installed only in a few stations. There are much more left to complete. Anyway, this is not the main topic today because I’m highlighting on its design layout which appears to be go-through functionality. Passenger from the basement can get into it and go directly through the platform floor without having to buy a train ticket.

During Sunday afternoon at Mega Bang-na, a huge department store near my home. I often visit here to have a walk and explore some interesting things. At this time, there was so crowded with people. What I had seen was very impressive and touched my heart. There were many diverse groups of families having a tour here on wheelchairs. Some had grandma accompanying by her lovely granddaughter. The grandma seemed to be very enjoying having a fresh look at surroundings and having a good time with her loved one. Some needed a stick to step ahead. Some rode a baby stroller …

S Guard The project will install a new barrier designed purposely to prevent motorcycle driver to proceed on the pedestrian’s footpath, while pedestrian still can be able to pass the barrier. I added my opinion that they’re not solving this problem at the roots, but the consequences. Even if the barrier has successfully been installed, motorcycle drivers still could find another way to drive on the footpath, or even disassemble it. Which would be a seriously criminal offence case.

Seacon Srinakarindra One of the best ranking on the accessible facilities on our board since for a long time. I went there 2 days ago, at the new car park building lower floor there were cars were fully parked. I went up to the higher floor to find a free space. Since from the beginning, I’ve never touched the one are doing fine instead I always cheering up them. I saw they’re been doing a very good job, provided a very good priority parking and facilities.

Just a second problemOne of the root causes of the problems and violence in the society today is the lack of public mind. Many people are truly familiar on what is wrongdoing. They unconsciously keep doing that. They also put the excuse that “Because everybody is doing that.” They never question themselves of what they are doing. Is it right or wrong? Appropriate or inappropriate? This failed attitude finally leads to the priority parking problem. If we are not giving our hands to help solving this problem, or any problems, as a citizen, who else does? I’m going to give a …

Accessibility Is FreedomAs we are represented to be a coordinator as well as a group of social activists who has monitored, now mainly, the construction of BTS’s disabled elevator for a year. Today we are heading to the Bangkok’s Civil Court to address this late non-fixed issue of the elevator. We are proud to give vital contribution as a supporter and to tell our society the cold fact. We perceive this, and oncoming, problems through the lens of possibility and are willing to take on just about anything that comes along the way. Some of our projects and campaigns might …

The motorcycle runs on the footpath is the one of our city problem that we see everyday. The problem effecting to either our safety as well as our city outlook. The law has already clear defined but the responsibility and the rule administration are low. I went out to do the survey on the footpath at Soi A-soke(Su-khum-vit 21), it is the business center of Bangkok.

I’ve reported to the sources since yesterday, and today finally the wrong data were been completely removed. This is fast! Our next step is to provide the right information to them, thank you Google Map. CHEER!!

Google Map We’ve seen they added the accessibility information for a while now. This is the most wanted feature for wheelchair travelers.

Days before, I saw someone leave off the glasses on the floor just as you see. I’d like you to answer my question… . “If you see someone is leave off the glass just like this, what will you do?”
