Suan-luang Rama IX’ I began to go for exercise more often at Suan-luang RAMA IX, a public park. Surprisingly, what I found was only 4 priority parking lots in total which were separated into 2 zones. Meaning that each zone had only 2 priority parking for PWDs. It’s such a very few lucky times these priority parking would be free of use and thus I could be able to park on it. Basically, I didn’t want to take it seriously, just observing things happening here.

Priority Parking ProblemBeing steal a priority parking by someone else is greatly hurtful and quite a big society issue. It demonstrates a characteristic habit and attitude of people in that living society. We, sometimes, seem to judge what we so-called civilization based on materialism, but miss social rules and those mental values like empathy, compassion, or sympathy. And I am wondering that is it a true prosperity in long-run? “Nice car boy! But well your heart is broken.” Live picture recently from my friend. As you see, the car’s wheel is being locked. Wondering that how the land owner would …

As Accessibility Is Freedom, is a member of Transportation For All (T4A https://www.facebook.com/Transportation4all/), has a wonderful opportunity to get involvement in collaboration with DPIAP in a magnificent project called, African Training 2017. Our job is to provide information of Bangkok’s transportation accessibilities. We will work together for two days. Today is the first day and our team took them to have a ride at BTS and MRT, a major sky train and subway system in Bangkok, to test their functionality and accessibility.

Accessible & SafetyWe got a good news from Singapore is testing the stroller restraint on public bus (Link ref : https://goo.gl/35kdPL). I, as a wheelchair user was extremely affected by an impractical layout design on public bus, which had mostly lower safety standard. And thought that this issue should be brought to the front line as one of priority concerns. After my trial abroad on public transportation in countries, I would like to share my opinions:

I hold one principle that being “looking good” means showing your respect to the people and enhancing my creative confidence. Language, personality, and outfits, all needs to be done with well preparation. And suit is one of the most important parts I consider first. I have to say that those typical suits selling in the market usually don’t fit to the size and appearance of those who are wheelchair users, which specifically require some special adaption to perfectly match their body as they’re usually sitting all the time and some of their bodies might be slightly different from the mass.

Please Help MeThis morning, I got a call soon after I woke up. It appeared to be a very hotline asking for help from Jeab, and her team. They were going to Phit-sa-nu-lok for trip by AirAsia airline. One of her team member was an powered wheelchair user. The airline didn’t allow bringing his battery, necessary forpowered wheelchair, on board. So I suggested her to call any other hotlines for help, as possible as they could find, at the very intense moment.

It was my pleasure to be invited by Dr. Budsakayt Intarapasan, The Assistant to the President for Student Development of King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), to be her special guest speaker at the university. She initiated a project called “Project X / Extreme Living”, dedicated to educate young generation of people of disabilities to prepare them before leaving to the outside world. The lecture consisted of 23 futures of the nation in total. They came from all around Thailand.

Days before I came to see an interesting post about a man who has speaking difficulty. I think it’s interesting so today I’ll talk about this cool man. I saw him on YouTube for a while. He has a kind of symptom called aphasia, possibly since he was born. A disease that makes him unable to speak clearly like us.

Our primary mission is the traveling to search for the answer of what we are questioning. When you are in doubt of capability of something, you might want to go checking it out by yourself at first hand. Domestic trial right in our home country seems to be insufficient as Japan is the top-notch among the area we are talking about. So, I headed to the land of the rising sun. Platform Lift or stair lift is a kind of accessible equipment intentionally designed for wheelchair user. It has been developed to use in Thailand as well as you might …
