Two brilliant youths decided to take an action to make the change

28 October 2021 In the morning, I was honored to join the opening announcement of the gentrification of the Chong Non Si River held in Sathorn, the financial district of Bangkok.

REVIEW: A Slopeway in front of Silom Complex

ภาพ ทางลาด หน้าอาคารสีลมคอมเพล็กซ์

  From my perspective as a real user and customer, I would like to give you focus review. 1) The slope degree is definitely not correct. It doesn’t the the legitimate law (1:12). 2) The length, highly likely, less than 6 meters. (fit on the accessible law? – need to be onsite) 3) The surface material is slippery which easily leads to an accident. (doesn’t the the legitimate law)

[REVIEW] Silom Complex’s Building Access

Located in the heart of Silom, a prime financial district of Bangkok, Silom Complex (a branch of the Central Group) has been here for 29 years, providing world-class offerings.

That being said, lot of countries throughout on this world are working hard to make it happen. Thailand, as part of it, must comply to this new global value.

It becomes customary that I’m invited annually to give a special lecture to international students from Design Business Technology Management (DBTM) at Thammasat University (Rangsit Campus), Thailand. This year, marks the 5th anniversary of my public speech here. There were roughly 75 vibrant students at the virtual classroom as we’ve done it via Zoom (due to Covid-19). This was the first time in virtual setting and no match to the vibe of physical interaction. Yet these energetic students made it possible to make my informative stuff a little more fun.

Do not be smelly farang

The general opinion would think of people from [developed countries] as well-mannered, courteous, and highly respect rule of law. This is conceivable as their countries’ law punish severely the wrongdoers and are usually enforced to the letters, making people do nothing else but simply obey it. [Thailand] As we know, many Thai laws are not followed to the letters. The law enforcement is too loose. This makes disorder and chaos so prevalent throughout the society.
