Disabled Access to Pattaya Will Improve, Says the Deputy Mayor

 

Khun Wootisuk, Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, chaired this meeting inside the VIP Room at Pattaya City Hall on Wednesday Morning to discuss an issue which will be of interest to disabled tourists and residents of Pattaya. The meeting discussed how to modify walkways and entrances to shopping centers and other major attractions to allow for easy access for wheelchairs and electric vehicles used by disabled people.

 

This meeting was prompted by complaints received from tourists and local business operators who believe Pattaya does not currently consider the needs of disabled people and many disabled tourists find it hard to traverse the streets of Pattaya unaided at this time. This is now set to change with improvements beginning along the entire stretch of Pattaya Beach soon.

Beach Road to remain a building site for another couple of years. What's new? It's been one for at least the last five years to my knowledge :lol:

It is hazardous to walk around in Pattaya for those of us who are not handicapped. I have often voiced the question, "How do people in wheelchairs get around in this city"? There are no wheelchair accessible buses, very few ramps anywhere and many of those would be impossible for a person in a wheelchair to navigate due to the steepness of the grade. View Talay 5 is a good example. How soon will all of this be remedied? Maybe "The Twelvth of Never".
