Disabled people in Bangkok are being urged to sign up for the Bangkok For All initiative via the Line app, an effort by City Hall to streamline access to social benefits.

 

The push was highlighted by Phanumas Sukamporn, an advisor to the Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, at the Disabled Social Wellness Expo held at the Youth Centre.

 

Bangkok For All was introduced on the Line app on December 19 last year with the specific purpose of assisting disabled individuals to create their community while ensuring their necessary social benefits and welfare are met.

“City Hall had a target of having at least 10,000 disabled people register, however, only 2,000 have registered so far.”

Agreed....    

 

Something as simple as attempting to navigate the nations streets with a child and pushchair highlights exactly how negligent Thai authorities are to the mobility requirements of many with mobility difficulties.

Yes. Most disabled cant register because of a lack of disabled access every step of the way. Advertise a telephone number to call and provide a free pickup/drop off using transport modified for disabled in every sense.
