Fashion Island is a department store of constant improvement on accessibility. I’ve been doing discussion, a well thought-provoking meeting, with them regularly that’s why can see its impressive progress. It would not be exaggerated if I rank this mall among the top in term of splendid accessibility. Recently I got a call from the management team to provide some further ideas and recommendations regarding the issue. We then sat on the chair at a meeting room and had a very exciting discussion.

Bangkok, a city of global destination, on March 14, 2019, I took my foreign friends a city tour. Before the tour begins, we would like to have some coffee, so we rushed to Terminal 21 shopping mall at A-soke. At the mall’s entrance, which connected to BTS A-soke station, we found a brand-new, and magnificent, coffee shop named CPS Coffee. Its glamour and brilliant design drew our attention to get in. Yet we were unable to do so as it was highly inaccessible. A friend of mine then told that “I came to this shop in the morning, but I …

I’ve informed from our colleague saying that a designated accessible parking at PTT gas station at Chai-ya-pruk Road, Non-tha-bu-ri, is obviously founded to be taken over as a car tent for sale. Then contacted the company for immediate resolution but the contacting officer replied that “I’m afraid that I cannot yet make a decision on this regard, since I have to wait for my superior coming back from abroad first for authority.”

According to the incapability of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), the current owner of the entire BTS, that failed to provide adequate elevators and other accessibility facilities on its BTS 23 stations, a group of people with disabilities, for this reason, had prosecuted the BMA and finally won a lawsuit on November 24, 2014. The court thus issued an order to BMA for them to complete, constructed by law, all the remaining elevators and other supportive accessibility facilities within one-year time. As such, the completion should be fulfilled by the beginning of 2016. Nevertheless, the construction remains unfinished to this day, …

Accessibility Is Freedom is working under a project, termed “Help & Share” and we have recorded our activities. I emphasize on the sustainable supports, something constructive to its consequences, rather than generous support like a giveaway which is superficial and not resolve at the root cause of a problem.

We made a field survey on this site six months ago. We’ve gathered useful information, all possibly available, regarding the Bangkok BTS Green Line South Extension and provided with critical recommendations to the government sectors and civil servants. Despite our huge efforts for the better, today it seems that things get worse, truly worse! AS YOU CAN SEE!, this is a thing you won’t see from the wise man. The Prime Minister once has stated precisely that “We won’t leave a man behind”. The Minister of Transport was also quickly responsive to his policy. But the reality doesn’t reflect what …

It has been almost two years since I started running for exercise. I was slowly but consistently climbing up the distance from just a few hundred meters, to 21 kilometers for 17 consecutive sets. I’ve realised quite for a while that I could still keep going on. I balanced everything; food, sleep, and available time. I decided to go to King Rama9 Park due to its longer running track and a bit late closing time. To go to Marathon, it requires both of your physical and mental ability. You have to know and accept your limits. You need to practice …

With our intensive efforts, brought us to meet with the Ambassador Jane Duke, Australian Mission to ASEAN on The AICHR Regional Dialogue, Bangkok. We have some light conversation, she is incredibly magnificent person. I’ve told her that I’ve never been to Australia before, I do plan to visit in the future. I’ve heard that the infrastructure in many cities are built with great equality level. She replied that “We’ve also learnt a lot from our mistakes…”

I’m now running(it is wheeling actually) for the project of Rexona “Move Is More”, 1M Kilometers: 1M Baht. It’s my dedication for Kao for Siriraj Hospital. So far, the accumulated distance is 112.6 Kilometers and also my personal goal is to reach to 1,000 Kilometers. Today I did quite a good preparation; sleep and food, grabbed a piece of banana 20 minutes before the start. I took off at 3 pm. The weather was quite nice, 26 c, warm sunlight. The greenery of trees in the park helped a lot in protecting me from the sun. There was no crowd …

The last time I took a photo of it was about two months ago. There was one step at the entrance which was completely inaccessible for wheelchair user and very risky for ordinary customers to slip on it. I’m a regular of this branch since I usually have a business meeting there. And I used to inform the staff many times regarding this growing concern. Recently I went there as usual and found this problem was fully disappeared. They redesigned a step to become a seamless slope. It’s a simple gentrification with ease of use and cost-effectiveness. I no longer …
