But do you know that they play very essential roles for life of persons with disabilities–especially blind travellers like me? They are always there to help me navigate through the caotic city of Bangkok, get on the right bus at the terminal in up-province, and even to go shopping.

Today, I met some friends at Victory Monument station, and went to Siam Paragon to stop by at bank. Afterwards, I went to MBK Center to pick up our new stamp for ARC. I did it all by myself BECAUSE I got help from security guard staff at every single spots. To honor their friendly and untold work, I would like to list up all of them here:

1. At Victory Monument Station from the ticket gate to the platform
2. At Siam station from platform to the entrance of Siam Paragon
3. Inside Paragon, from entrance to the bank, and back to BTS gate
4. At the Siam station, from the gate to the platform again
5. At National Stadium station, from platform to the entrance of MBK Center
6. At MBK, at the entrance to the stamp shop (with some wandering around, trying to locate the small shop), and back to the BTS (This is the guy in this photo with me.)
7. At National Stadium station, from the gate to the platform again.

I know that most of security guards might not be on Facebook, and nor do they read English, but I just want to take this chance to express my gratitude for their work that is rarely appreciated publicly. Brothers and sisters, without your help, my life in Thailand would have been much harder than it is!

With much much respect and gratitude,

Yoshimi
