A lot has happened, private and business wise.
Two years ago we could imagine the ride we have been thru, the trips we have made and the life time experiences. But with two wheelchair accessible pool villas in Hua Hin, Thailand close to restaurants, shopping mall, beach and so on we know for sure you will have a great holiday. And we still enjoy to welcome and spoil you.<br />

We didn't expect at all to buy a second car for the transport of our disabled guests. So next high season 2 accessible vans are running to service the needs of the wheelchair users in our accessible pool villas. For instance. An airport transfer at the same time as a day at the beach trip. Or a delicious vineyard lunch or a visit to Sam Roi Yot National Park. Our first van has ramp access and the new van has a wheelchair lift. This combination makes it possible to transfer people with different disabilities and all kind of wheelchairs, scooters, etc. Q-straint tie down systems and seat-belts make transfers safe for all passengers. And more important we can transport and accommodate groups up to 12 people with these vans and houses.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another improvement is the second beach wheelchair. Our guests love to visit the beach and for most of them it has been ages since they have been into the sea. </div>

Did you see our <a href="https://youtu.be/YlF4oSaIoDI" target="_blank">Youtube movies</a>? Or the pictures on <a href="http://www.gehandicapten.com/" target="_blank">our website</a>? Have a look at both. Because with the service level in our houses and the provisions for disabled people we are the only one still standing in Hua Hin, Thailand due to hard work and personal commitment.</div>

Special mention: Budapest among the best European cities</h3>
<div>
The European Commission presented the 2015 Access City Awards on the occasion of the European Day for People with Disabilities on 3 December 2014 in Brussels in the framework of the accessibility contest for the recognition of the best disability-friendly cities which took significant measures to make their cities accessible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Access City Award was established in 2010 to raise awareness of disability and to promote accessibility initiatives in European cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since 2010, the Access City Award has been given four times during which 189 cities have entered the contest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2014, 62 cities applied for this award. Budapest was selected by the European Commission from among the best seven cities and was granted the special mention for its work in the field of transport.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The award was received last week by Ms Alexandra Szalay-Bobrovniczky, Deputy Mayor for Human Affairs and Dr Balázs Szeneczey, Deputy Mayor for City Development.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you plan to visit Budapest, the capital of Hungary, this page will provide you some useful information on the accessibility of important historical and heritage sites and of other facilities. First of all it must be stated that Budapest does not belong to the cities with high level accessibility in Europe, it is probably at medium level. This means, a part of the transportation, most parts of the built historical environment, most five and four star hotels, a few three star hotels, few restaurants, coffee shops and churches, some of the wellknown medical baths and museums, as well as all shopping centers have an access or are adapted to the needs of people first of all with physical disability, using wheelchair. Attention has been more and more devoted to people with visual, mental and other disabilities as well. Our aim is to create tourism for all in Budapest.</span></div>

Situated on a hill at the river Danube, the town Buda (Buda Castle) used to be the capital of Hungary between cca. 1250 and 1873. The historical town including the Royal Palace, surrounded by medieval walls – today 1st district of Budapest, generally called the Castle area – offers the most important sights, the most beautiful places to visit. The river side and the Castle area belong to the UNESCO World Heritage.<o:p></o:p></div>

I love sunshine and warm weather. So I like to travel to warm places with lots of sun in the European winter. But when you are living in Australia you probably like to travel in the Australian wintertime, summer in France and rainy season Thailand.<br />
<br />
Since I have travel often to Thailand I have experienced all seasons here, winter, summer and rainy season. And surprisingly I found the rainy season not that bad. Most of the time it rain is short heavy showers, sometimes with a lot of wind, but never a hurricane. I'm used to a humid climate in The Netherlands and cold rain. In Hua Hin, Thailand rain is always warm. You get wet, but not cold.<br />
<br />
When you plan your holiday it mostly depends on holiday season, school holidays and so on. To help you to find the ideal weather you can consult <a href="http://www.klimaatinfo.nl/thailand/huahin.htm" target="_blank">climate in Hua Hin</a> or any other climate website on the internet.<br />

Parents keep their young disabled children safe, sometimes too safe. Most teenage friends don't know how to respond to the limitations of a handicap. And a date, a lover or a marriage is just one step too far for the imagination of most people. But sometimes people do fall in love and then they have to face the opinion and prejudice of their family, friends, co-students, colleagues, etcetera. An <a href="http://www.telegraaf.nl/vrouw/actueel/23682375/__Liefde_kent_geen_beperkingen__.html" target="_blank">article of the Telegraaf</a> tells a story of American teenagers falling in love. He is disabled due to a muscular disease and she is a healthy and beautiful young lady. It could be my story 35 years ago.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrziDjh6KKgygQzeApOEKs9CEx-P31sGcwMN4CzKPSiEBS8Vy7KhiZ3oD5lk2DLzewJTBZjkLnqJ_yXf9-Jb207DicpwaejvLaCoDtfAtrwwoKEDR6aMTdu5iyO96Mt7mmzoOBsiNbnz14/s1600/IMAG0246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrziDjh6KKgygQzeApOEKs9CEx-P31sGcwMN4CzKPSiEBS8Vy7KhiZ3oD5lk2DLzewJTBZjkLnqJ_yXf9-Jb207DicpwaejvLaCoDtfAtrwwoKEDR6aMTdu5iyO96Mt7mmzoOBsiNbnz14/s1600/IMAG0246.jpg" height="191" width="320" /></a>But most disabled people are not that lucky. After many years they are still not able to find a girl or boy friend. But sometimes love can be found in unexpected places like Thailand. Thai women are very caring and loving. It is still part of their nature. But in return they like you to support their family consisting of their children, parents and sometimes even brothers and sister and their children. The Thai economy is thriving on lonely men looking for a loving, caring partner.<br />
<br />
So are you looking for a girl friend? Are you lonely and looking for love? Why not come to Thailand? We have beautiful wheelchair accessible accomodation which will suite your needs of accessiblity and privacy. More information?

People who depend on a wheelchair enjoy these walks along the water very much. Sometimes they even go into the water, but then have difficulties to get out.<br />
<br />
But last year we have added a three wheel beach wheelchair which can float. And what happened?Guests of our <a href="http://www.wheelchairaccessibleholidayhomesfordisabledpeople.com/Thailand/disabled.htm" target="_blank">wheelchair accessible holiday homes</a> go into the sea, float around and get a lovely taint.<br />
And to show you how well it floats, we have shot a small movie of a disabled guest with his permission at Khao Takiab Beach, Hua Hin, Thailand. Thank you, Harri. How long ago was your last dip in the sea?<br />

In Hua Hin we have a private beach wheelchair for our guests. In France the First Aid Posts at the beach in Canet Plage have the same beach wheelchairs available for free. The guards even help you with moving over from your wheelchair. And after you do you can float around in the Mediterranean Sea. And how lovely is that?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00965952740550036038noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796527360356478111.post-43731784500483238802013-12-27T10:55:00.001+07:002015-05-03T21:13:53.357+07:00Location Wheelchair HolidaysIn previous Blogpost I already talked about <a href="http://www.wheelchairaccessibleholidayhomesfordisabledpeople.com/" target="_blank">our holiday homes</a> in France, Hungary and Thailand. And often I write about the things we have done. In my wheelchair I experience the same problems as you would when you would visit one of my accommodations. But not only the accommodation needs to be wheelchair accessible, the location is as important as the holiday home itself. <br />
<br />
Where do you prefer your holiday accommodation? On top of a mountain, at a remote beach, at the end of a dirt road? Or in town with easy access to amenities and sights? Right. You probably choose the last one. Just like me and anyone else you like to leave the house and drive around in your wheelchair independently. A location where your family or travel companions don't need to push your wheelchair, with restaurants around the corner and shops within walking distance. <br />
When you like what you read have a look at our Maps, publicly shared on Google Maps.<br />

I travel to Thailand as well. And last time I have visit Venice in Hua Hin. Yes. Copy, copy and build. <br />

Wheelchair access? The streets are level so it should not be a problem to find a spot to watch. Come early. It will be crowded. Bring water and a umbrella.<br />

Hope to see you there. <br />

The female part of Wheelchair Thailand celebrates her birthday on December 7. And in The Netherlands we celebrate the birthday of Sinterklaas on December 6 with gifts for the children on the evening before.<br />
<br />
But the birthday party for the King beats every festivity in Hua Hin. At the moment the King lives in Hua Hin and many military is coming to Hua Hin, streets are decorated and lit and bulletin boards announce a party.<br />

First they were displayed at Venezia, the new amusementparks annex shopping mall. From here they drove in convoy, like a parade to the Centara Grand Hotel in the centre of Hua Hin. And Sunday morning I took a look at these magnificent cars from the past. Like the Mercedes on the picture below.<br />

Some cars weren't that old, but made me feel old. Like the Volkswagen T1 from the sixties. I saw this drive around in my country when I was a child. And the Citroën Pallas, better known as the Snoek (Dutch word for pike) also a Golden Oldie. And the Volkswagen Kever (Beetle).<br />

And did you decide to leave it at home because you were afraid the handlers would damage it. Then watch this movie about me and my powered wheelchair preparations at the check-in of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for my 20th flight to Bangkok Airport Suvarnabhumi. I made this movie as an example. When you want to travel you have to find a way how to prepare your wheelchair.<br />

<li>Tie-raps to tie down cables.</li>
<li>Removal of joy stick to prevent damage to steering mechanism.</li>
<li>Disconnecting the battery cable underneath.</li>
<li>Minimize size of wheelchair. Some airplane loading doors are just 84cm high.</li>
<li>Wheelchair parts in bag to prevent them to get soaked in the rain. And less weight in your suite case.</li>

Lights in the streets are coming. Rainy season is ending en tourist are travelling to beach resorts like Hua Hin. I like this season. It is a very good time to spend some of your days in the tropical sun and just enjoy life as it is.<br />
<br />
On December 5 Thailand is celebrating his King's Birthday. If all is well King Bhumibol (Full name: <strong>Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramintharamaha Bhumibol Adulyadej Mahitalathibet Ramathibodi Chakkrinaruebodin Sayamminthrathirat Borommanatbophit) </strong>will become 86 years. Thai people like to celebrate this birthday with music, food en fireworks and an ice sculpture competition. <br />
<br />
Last year my wife and I celebrated this birthday among the Thai locals and we loved it. And since it is beautiful weather in this time of year you can go out in your wheelchair too and enjoy all the festivities out on the street. <br />

One of the main holidays in Thailand is Loi Kratong. The festival of lights. Very luminous, peaceful and serene holiday.<br />
Thai people also make music and sing songs. Have a look at this video made in Hua Hin to see what you can expect when you visit during Loi Kratong on 17 November 2013. Enjoy.<br />

<i>Loi Krathong</i> takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_lunar_calendar" title="Thai lunar calendar">Thai lunar calendar</a>. In the western calendar this usually falls in November.<br />
<i>Loi</i> means 'to float', while <i>krathong</i> refers to a usually lotus-shaped container which floats on the water. <i>Krathong</i> has no other meaning in Thai besides these decorative floats, so <i>Loi Krathong</i> is very hard to translate, requiring a word describing what a Krathong looks like such as <i>Floating Crown</i>, <i>Floating Boat</i>, <i>Floating Decoration</i>. The traditional krathong are made of the layers of the trunk of a banana tree or a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_lily" title="Spider lily">spider lily</a> plant. Modern krathongs are more often made of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread" title="Bread">bread</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrofoam" title="Styrofoam">styrofoam</a>. A bread krathong will disintegrate after a few days and can be eaten by fish. Banana stalk krathong are also biodegradable, but styrofoam krathongs are sometimes banned, as they pollute the rivers and may take years to decompose. A krathong is decorated with elaborately-folded banana leaves, incense sticks, and a candle. A small coin is sometimes included as an offering to the river spirits. On the night of the full moon, Thais launch their krathong on a river, canal or a pond, making a wish as they do so. The festival may originate from an ancient ritual paying respect to the water spirits.<br />

Tourist destinations in Thailand like Hua Hin celebrate all kind of holidays. Not only Thai and / or Buddhist holidays but also Chinese and European holidays. So they celebrate in order European Christmas and New Year at in December, Chinese New Year in February and Thai New Year in April.<br />
But they also celebrate Loi Kratong in November and Makha Bucha in February. And last but not least they celebrate the Kings on 5 December also known as Fathers Day. <br />

<br />
We love this Festival season and like to celebrate with and around the locals. It is really fun. It is dry season. And often there is music, good food and sometimes big fireworks. <br />
<br />
So November till April is a really great time to visit Hua Hin in Thailand. And even in your wheelchair you can be part of these festivities. Our staff knows where to go, can take you to the best spot and likes to celebrate with you. <br />
<br />
Hope to meet you in Hua Hin.<br />

Amazing what Thai people do to earn a decent living. We are glad with this kind of service, can not find it in our country and certainly not for this kind of money.<br />
Saturday evening 7 pm and I have a flat tire. <br />
<br />
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
My wife driving around in our car and looking for a repair shop. Finally after 1 hour I find a shop able and willing to repair my flat tire. <br />
<br />
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And what kind of shop this is. This man is building motor bikes. So a lot to look at. Not boring at all. Have a look at the picture below. Do you like to ride this? My wife does.<br />
