Issues & Problems

Thailandis a member of The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, or CRPD. All members need to continuously update and report their progresses regarding the subject. I got an opportunity to involve with the meeting and, surprisingly, acknowledged tremendous efforts of many members to improve PWDs’ standard of living in their countries.

On October 1, 2015, the representatives from Transportation For All organisation (T4A) handed an official documents to the Minister of Transport, then Mr. Arkom Termpitayapaisit, in regard to the inaccessibility and inefficiency of the overall transportations in Thailand. Parts of the documents included an official letter in rejection of the use of “platform lift.” We investigated and found that there were new installations of platform lift on 3 new stations on the Purple Line Train.

The following story was a conversation between me and the Deputy Bangkok Governor, Mr. Amorn Kitchawengkul. We’re been talking about the BTS Accessibility and human rights issue that, since last year, the Supreme Court ordered Bangkok Metro Administration and BTS, to complete enable full accessibility on BTS sky train system.

Apr 2015 Japan is a big island. The land area is almost 50% less than Thailand. (Thailand=513,114.6sqkm. / Japan:377,835sqkm – Thank you for an information from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org) So then, the land must be using as good as possible. Our country the one who has home and car is “easy & nothing”, but in Japan is not .. Days that we’re living at Tokyo, I saw not much cars and traffic while there are too many on our major cities.
