Looking For A Tour Guide And Wheelchair Accessible Accommodation

[nailo]

Hello,

I’m a young male from New Zealand looking for a tour guide for myself. I’m a wheelchair user paralyzed from the chest down and am looking for someone that can show me around your country and help me get around.

I can manage getting around in my wheelchair but will need help getting down stairs or uneven surfaces. I can transfer with ease into a vehicle, preferable a car but will need help dismantling my chair, its very easy, take the wheels off then chuck it in the boot or back seat, its a very portable wheelchair.

I have a reasonably strong upper body but poor balance. I can manage most things but it would be great to have a travel companion and an extra hand.

My places of interest are Bangkok, chiang mai and phuket.

I was hoping if you could suggest any wheelchair accessible accommodation with a level access shower. I’m looking at budget accommodation so cheaper the better but do send everything you find.

If you can, what prices should I expect from the tour guides?

Your help will be greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there:

All I can say is Bangkok (streets, taxis, some BTS stations) are not handicap friendly, as for hotels, you may be able to find some sort of budget type accom with lifts but don't count on it.

A good guide will help though.
