Have you ever realised that PWDs had long been fighting for equal rights and fairness ‘for everyone’ for more than a generation?!!

Both images took place in a different time scale of 30 years. It exemplifies the voices of brave PWDs (people with disabilities) who stand up to demand a basic human rights, stated by the constitutions. Yet, from the past till present time, most PWDs remain unable to go out of home conveniently, to go to school and hospital, to work and make a living individually. This is a living, catastrophic summary of the basic human rights of PWDs in Thailand. What else could be worse?

From the previous post, I asked what you think about this new accessible toilet shown on the image. I was astonished by the seas of opinions fluxing into the comments. This included those key people in fields of design and architecture who messaged me directly and exchanged interesting insights. Thank you everyone.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Now I’d like to share my thought that might contradict many people’s impression. At first sight they might perceive “WOW this toilet is great, so accessible and is good-looking!”. But well, as a man in this profession I can point out many obvious flaws. Before we get into …

A revolutionary taxi in Thailand that’s fully accessible for all, finally!!

[Bangkok 3 Aug 2020] After a lifetime waiting that turned my hair grey, I’ve recently got a wonderful news in regard to an accessible taxi for all, finally! Operated by Asia CABB, this high-standard taxi service offers an alternative for those on wheelchair to wander around freely (but not free😜). This is something many people have been waiting, and suffering, for generations due to extreme inaccessibility from ordinary taxi. Now that pain becomes a thing of the past. Typically, taxi ride serves as a short-medium feeder connecting passenger to get access to other public transports. This is really good.

When a grandpa has to walk to the hospital!

Our friends sent us this image and narrated a sad story that he had to bring her dad to the hospital but the parking wasn’t available. With conditions, she had to drop him off far away and let him walked to the hospital! Visiting the hospital is a basic human rights. Yet many of us still can’t have it due to poor footpath, an unrestricted street vendors, and many physical barriers in our city. Simply walking on a footpath in Bangkok, if not the whole Thailand, remains a challenging activity. There are problems everywhere, you name it.

[POLL] An accessible toilet at a brand-new luxury boutique hotel at Langsuan

Our friend sent us this image, shot at a brand-new luxury boutique hotel at Langsuan area of Bangkok, showing a brand-new accessible toilet with nice decor and he said… “Wow, this is great. What a lovely toilet. Everyone in need can use it. Thank you hotel!” This might be the first reaction from many of you. The toilet is great, and nothing is wrong with that. Yet from my point of view as a PWDs, a real user, I’m afraid to say that this good-looking toilet still holds some “serious flaws” that could prevent entirely those in need from using …
