The Reality of Bangkok for People With Mobility Issues | An Honest Travel Guide

In this video, I sit down with Dave to discuss traveling in Bangkok, how best to plan a holiday, avoid common mistakes, and what the city is really like for visitors with mobility issues. This was an informative and enlightening conversation that covers plenty of practical logistics, but perhaps most importantly, Dave shares the perspective of someone who has been navigating Bangkok as a wheelchair user for over 25 years. If you have mobility issues, feel free to leave questions and comments below as this is a topic that can really benefit from a community-oriented discussion.
