The overpass, an innovation for pedestrians to safely cross a street. It’s considered safe and convenient yet highly inaccessible for some if built unintelligently like many footbridges in Thailand where wheelchair users are completely unable to use it. For developed countries, that might have passed the primitive state of trial and error, they recognise the limitations of the overpass and try to minimize its usage if possible.

We all had heard a recent tragedy of strong earthquake hit around the Osaka metropolitan area in western Japan on today morning. Every time this kind of natural disaster incurred I have to make a comparison with our country. Although Japan has been suffering with constant natural disasters since ancient time, especially earthquake, the country remains one of the largest economies and most powerful nations in the world. The situation is somehow opposite to Thailand where the country is mostly free from massive natural disaster and fortunately possesses rich natural resources.

Smile and happiness is priceless. Shot with a foreign family, this image took place on March 2017 when I participated in the press conference on the “BTS’s first four lift delivery date, joined by the Bangkok Governor and his Deputy, and many involved parties. I met this family when the event was over.

Needless to explain, let the image says itself. What we see is the smile and …

On a journey to study the basic accessible facilities, the most important was to be able to test and examine whether it’s suitable and can be used in our daily lives. This is why I call my trip as a “mission for everyone”. In addition, testing is very important and also the information would be much more valuable when we could hear the stories from people who were being involved and work close to these issues. Finally, I got an opportunity to visit the DPI-JAPAN (http://dpi-japan.org/).

At this place, it’s so-called “Wat-Nam-Sai” (Stands for : A temple with clear water) for many Thai people. It’s also a perfect spot where I could shot the magnificent Fuji-san at its sunset. It was truly spectacular. The time when I’d arrived there, the Sakura was just about to present herself to the world. It would be extremely more fascinating if I capture her at this spot one week later, when her beauty would magically skyrocket at her peak.

It would be so weird traveling to a beautiful country of Japan, especially in spring season, but had no any nice pictures to share with all of you and here you go… (took so much time as all were incredibly mesmerizing.) It was during the beginning of spring. After I’d landed in Osaka, I deposited my stuffs and excitedly went to explore the city. I took a lot of trains, transferring countless stations to my very destination, a strawberry farm. For these 3 pictures, they were captured at Kishi Station. From my very perspective, I perceived the Sakura as a …
