27 August 2018, 13:00 p.m. The leading PWDs activists, in accordance with legal advisers, had approached on behalf of to request to the MBK Group Management in regard to the improvement of its priority parking and accessible facilities, as well as its premise management to avoid the same flaws in the future. In the private sector, innumerable buildings had failed to comply with the regulations regarding the use and design of priority parking, such as inadequate quantity, which subsequently damaged a wide range of users.

I believe that, practically, sometimes the rule of law comes after public mind, proper, and respect on people’s right. If we could achieve such a thing, we can live happily and equally with each other. Who has the right on accessible parking (only Wheelchair Symbol presented)? My sincerest answer is those in need.

I got this image from my young colleagues who was studying in the UK. It’s a priority park in Bicester Village, a large outlet in Oxford. At first sight, you must recognise immediately that it’s located in a developed country. Deep down you could see that: 1. It’s mostly unoccupied 2. No barrier on each lot 3. No staff authority or security officer Let’s do an anatomy, why this scene can happen: 1. Strict regulations and penalty 2. Justice law enforcement by authority 3. Respected by people In fact an violation and misuse of priority parking by selfish people happens …

A barrier preventing motorcycle is also known as S-Guard barricade. It is a novel innovation brought to you by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) in an attempt to prevent motorists driving on the sidewalk. This weird thing is increasingly enlarging in scale throughout the city of Bangkok, especially at the major intersections. The point is that I have a strong belief that those authorities, who have the power to initiate this execution, might perhaps derive this idea from Japan where the innovation already existed. It might appear interesting in their eyes. However, it’s just a superficial inspiration and lacks scrutiny on …

  Mega Bangna is the only shopping mall in Thailand that its quantity of accessible parking exceeds the minimum requirement by law. Months ago, we had intensively received numbers of reports about the misuse of priority parking, especially at its underground parking, Blue Zone. We decided to conduct a field work there so many times and have a honest talk with security officers who was in charge there.

Thun, a truly optimistic young girl, called me for an invitation to share some information to a group of activist from Korea. I hold one strong attitude. Building new connection is always one of my focal emphasis to raise broaden awareness. Even though I have a very tiny of time, I always genuinely prepared and brought loads of useful information and insights to share with them on the day. It’s such a wonderful day and great to get to know new fabulous people. Hopefully my provision of resources could be applied further. Thanks to Thun and her lovely father, Korea …

There is a rule of thumb on the use of sidewalk and the Governor of Bangkok is trying to implement the law enforcement toward those wrongdoers. The misuse of sidewalk has become a hazardous social problem as we can always see from the mainstream and in real life such as riding a motorcycle on the sidewalk. Seen from higher perspective, this selfish and undisciplined behavior of the driver reflects a problematic system, not just individual level.

08/22/2018 10:00pm Bangkok, Thailand. I visited FoodLand Sri-na-ka-rin for my late dinner sawing this black car already parked on a priority parking. I asked to check CCTV whether if the driver is eligible, after clearly proved, I waited patiently at the exit.

A problem and misuse regarding accessible parking exist everywhere else throughout Thailand. For the developer, their major responsibility is to correctly build it according to the legal regulation as well as keep it in good management and maintenance. We’re invited to go to Khon Khaen province for work. It’s such a lovely and unforgettable trip. After the official job, we were on our way and went exploring at a Tesco Lotus. I had made a field observation and met with in-charged people as well as their management executive to discuss this topic of accessible parking. It’s delighted that they’d already recognised this …
