Chatuchak Park is the first park in the complex opened in December 1980. Located on Phahonyothin road right next to the Mo Chit BTS station, it is the most accessible park of the three. Also included in this park is the Train Museum. You can get to this area by the Sukhumvit line Sky Train to Mo Chit. Or using the underground rail link you can get off at Mo Chit Bang Sue or Kamphaeng Phet.
The Queen Sirikit Park is a botanical garden built to honour the Queen's 60th birthday in 1992. It was formally opened in December 1996. Some of the plants collected in the garden include hibiscus, plumeria and palms. Within the park compound is the Children's Museum. The park is located behind Chatuchak weekend market parking lot.
The Wachirabenchathat Park is the biggest and newest park of the complex. It was called State Railway Public Park but was renamed in July 2002 to honour HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn's 50th birthday. It contains a butterfly park and the tallest fountain in Thailand.
Suan Lum Night Bazaar Ratchada or Ratchada Night Bazaar is a market stall shopping mall and open air market currently under construction in Bangkok's Chatuchak District, at the intersection of Ladprao Rd. and Ratchadaphisek Rd, at the Bangkok Metro's Lat Phrao Station. Located on land owned by the State Railway of Thailand, it will open its first phase in 2014. It is a mixed use development. On completion the mall part will be the world's longest in length stretching 1.5 kilometres. The current Suan Lum Night Bazaar next to Lumphini Park in Bangkok will cease trading when the lease expires. It is expected to draw the same number of visitors as the present Suan Lum Night Bazaar around 15,000–18,000 visitors a day of which 4,000 are foreigners. Total investment in this project is about 2.4 billion Baht.
The district is sub divided into five sub districts ( Kwaeng ). 1. Lat Yao 2. Sena Nikhom 3. Chan Kasem
4. Chom Phon 5. Chatuchak
The most well known site in the district is the Chatuchak Weekend Market, the largest market in Thailand. Some say in the world, I can’t dispute that it is huge, and you can easily spend all day here. However be warned its very tiring so don’t forget plenty of fluids to keep you hydrated. The crowds are a nightmare. It can take you ages to walk relatively short distances if you get, crowds in front of you in the narrow passageways. Northwest of the weekend market is another market, Chatuchak Plaza selling clothes and many other products. Across the Kamphang Phet Road is Or Tor Kor Market belonging to The Marketing Organization for Farmers offering fresh agriculture product and food.
Various Bus Services can be used to get to Chatuchak market

South Rim Greenway Construction August 2011.
Grand Canyon's greenway trail system is a multi-modal, accessible trail system that encourages non-motorized travel, complementing the park's free shuttle system which includes seasonal shuttle bus service to and from Tusayan.
Greenway III (the Tusayan Greenway), on the South Rim, consists of a 9-foot wide, compacted soil surface for pedestrians and bicyclists, with a wide shoulder area that may be used by equestrians. As funding becomes available, the compacted soil surface will be replaced with pavement. The trail is being constructed by Grand Canyon’s Trail Crew to comply with accessibility guidelines for outdoor developed areas.
“We are excited about the construction of this section of trail,” stated Park Superintendent, Dave Uberuaga, “It will not only provide visitors, employees and residents another new and green option for travel between the park and Tusayan, but it will realign the popular Arizona Trail east of Highway 64, eliminating several road crossings.”
Funding for this project was made possible through a grant received from the Federal Highway Administration’s Public Lands Highways Program. General donations to Grand Canyon National Park’s trails program also helped fund the project.
Walking and hiking Grand Canyon's many trails can provide an excellent source of exercise while allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and views of the canyon. People of all ages may enjoy walks along the scenic Rim Trail, a part of the greenway trails system, on the South Rim of the canyon. This trail offers views from many different vantage points, connects with several points of interest within the park and includes the park's Trail of Time, a walkable geologic timeline of the canyon. The park's greenway trail system is a good option for all ages, including those with young children.

Dhammayangyi (Bagan Monument Number 771)
The most massive structure in Bagan. It has a similar architectural plan to Ananda Temple. It was built by King Narathu (1167-70), who was also known as Kalagya Min.
Shwesandaw (Bagan Monument number 1568)
King Anawrahta built Shwesandaw Pagoda after his conquest of Thaton in 1057. This graceful pagoda was constructed at the centre of his newly empowered kingdom. The pagoda was also known as Ganesh or Mahapeine after the elephant-headed Hindu god whose images once stood at the corners of the five successive terraces.
The pagoda's bell rises from two octagonal bases which top the five square terraces. This was the first monument in Bagan to feature stairways leading from the square bottom terraces to the round base of the pagoda itself. This pagoda supposedly enshrines a Buddha hair relic brought back from Thaton.
Sinmyarshin (Bagan Monument Number 1478)
Built in the late 12th Century, Sinmyarshin Temple is a two-storey building consisting of an entrance hall and the main hall on the lower level. The main hall has two Buddha images, each facing east and west.
On the upper level are four sitting Buddha images facing North, East, South and West. There are beautiful stuccos carvings of lotus which can be rarely seen in the Bagan. On the inner walls of the hall are mural paintings.
Snakes?
I never really wanted to think about the dangers until........
On our second trip to Burma, in Pagan (Bagan), my wife encountered a large (2m) green snake in the grounds of Sinmyarshin (Bagan Monument Number 1478).
Inadvertently she got rather close to it, but thankfully the snake was not interested in her and slithered off. She got a blurry shot of it as it disappeared over the perimeter wall. After that we both became a little more edgy about snakes.
I thought the location of our snake sighting was appropriate for an evil serpent, because General Than Shwe was the donor who had paid for the restoration of Sinmyarshin following the earthquake damage of 1975 and that he continues to pay homage at Sinmyarshin whenever he visits Bagan.
Later on we met the keymaster of Sinmyarshin and he said there were many snakes. He then offered to open up the locked stair gate and we were soon rewarded with another wonderful panorama from the roof and soothed our nerves atop this rarely accessible temple.
Relating the story to locals they weren't surprised by the snake, but they were surprised that we had been granted access to the roof of Sinmyarshin, even for a little tea money.
Information on accessible Lower Mainland businesses and public spaces is now easier to find thanks to a Job Creation Partnership project between the BC government and the Rick Hansen Foundation. More than $240,000 in provincial funding has helped seven people complete 75 accessibility assessments of local businesses and public spaces over the last year.
Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Michelle Stilwell and Rick Hansen, CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation, participated in an accessibility assessment with the foundation's Accessibility Team at the South Arm Community Centre in Richmond.

Some of the most spectacular accessible views of Glacier National Park are to be had on the Going to the Sun Road which traverses through two glacier-carved valleys while going through a notch on the Continental Divide. The tale of the road construction is a tale of human ingenuity which resulted in a traverse that had taken 4 days to cross prior to its existence. Its alignment had been designed to accomodate growing autotourism and thus resulted in very few switchbacks and grand views at every turn which is still evident today.
The view from the road on each side of Logan Pass is uniquely different. The smooth U-shaped valley on the eastern side shown above contrasts very well with the ragged peaks and sharp dropoffs on the western side (below) and together, they provide a view of the lifetime.
On your first drive through this, you will invariably spend hours at the multiple lookouts that dot this unique and beautiful landscape. Maybe you even get to spot some local wildlife along the way.

All Saints, Stanford, Norfolk
All Saints is one of the four churches of the Norfolk Battle Training Area and is not generally accessible by the public. Indeed Stanford's former parish church is at the very heart of the training area, the live firing zone, and it is so far from civilisation that the silence in the air is remarkable. I recall the first time I ever came here about twenty years ago. I had not heard such a silence in England before. The sheep were fearless, inquisitive as we let ourselves into the churchyard, but their lambs hid behind them, chins tilted upwards as they watched. As I wandered about the churchyard, tiny spring rabbits bolted from beneath my feet. At first this was startling, and then comical, for they had never seen a human before, and they waited until I was right on top of them before running for the scrub. I became wary lest I step on one, but I don't think they were ever in any real danger.
This is one of East Anglia's round towered churches, the only one in the Battle Training Area. The tower is 12th Century, apart from the octagonal bell stage which was added in the 15th Century, probably soon after 1473, when John Skyner gave 20s to the reparation of the bells. This was roughly a thousand pounds in today's money. The bell windows alternate with blank windows which are actually flint flushwork, a nice trick. Simon Cotton tells me that in 1401 Boniface IX granted an indulgence for penitents who gave alms to Stanford church. This suggests that there was building work happening here at the time which needed paying for, and it is perhaps a good date for when the late medieval church began to be erected, culminating in the 1470s with the tower belfry. However, in its turn the church was almost entirely rebuilt in the early 1850s by Frederick Sutton, son of the wealthy local landowner Richard Sutton and the brother of Augustus, the rector of neighbouring West Tofts, who instigated an even more major rebuilding there, at the hands of the architect Augustus Welby Pugin. The south aisle had been demolished in the 1770s, and the north aisle and chancel were in ruins, so all the window tracery dates from Sutton's restoration, although some of it may have been reused. There is no clerestory and this is not a large church, despite first appearances.
You step into a wide, almost square space, beyond which the chancel seems almost an afterthought. Since my previous visit, the east end of the nave has been filled with scaffolding, apparently to support the chancel arch and roof. The small octagonal font tucked in the south-west corner could be any age, but is probably late 14th Century I expect. Sutton's restoration brought the chancel murals, the raised steps, the great rood, and even the painted glass in the north aisle window, which Pevsner thought worthy of mention, but which is mostly now lost. There is more of Sutton's work at Brant Broughton in Lincolnshire, the main family seat, including much glass made by him and his brother Augustus. The arcades rest on elegant, fluted columns, and something very odd has happened at the east end of the south aisle, where a former archway appears to have been truncated by the eastern wall. Did it lead into a former south transept? Or was it begun and never finished? Curious.
As with the church at Tottington, the roof tiles are stored inside here, but the benches are gone, the bells have gone. And yet the ghosts of the past remain. This feels as if it must have been a warm and welcoming building, busy in the years of its restoration, and still a touchstone for generations. Outside, they lie. Quantrills and Clarks, Rudds and Gathercoles. A weathered Gathercole memorial is profoundly evangelical: Weep not for us our children dear, because we die and leave you here. But look to Christ the crucified, that you may feel his blood applied. Another for a Quantrill wife hopes that God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes. All about, the silence continues.

On 1 March 2011 Embassy of Embassy of Canada to Poland and the Polish Institute of International Affairs organized a conference devoted to Arctic region.
“This half-day conference brought together Polish and Canadian Arctic experts and decision
makers to support and consider the emerging discussion in Poland on this important region.
Poland has been a distinguished member of the Arctic research community and a prominent
Observer State of the Arctic Council since its inception. While to Canadians the Arctic is home,
and to Polish researchers it is a challenging but familiar workplace, to much of the international
community and indeed Polish society it remains relatively unknown or misunderstood. Far from
being a ‘wild west’ frontier as it is sometimes portrayed, the Arctic is a well-governed and
thriving homeland to numerous indigenous communities with enormous development potential.
Canada’s vision for the Arctic is that of a stable region with clearly defined boundaries, dynamic
economic growth and trade, vibrant Northern communities, and healthy and productive
ecosystems. The Arctic Council is for Canada the well-established and principal forum for
international cooperation in these areas. Poland’s vision of the Arctic is similar, as an observer
in the Arctic Council, which convenes and supports sustained dialogue and cooperation.
Canada, like Poland, has made a strong commitment to Arctic science—the foundation for sound
policy- and decision-making on the environment. Canada was the single largest financial
contributor to International Polar Year research activities and has announced the construction
of a state of the art international High Arctic research facility in Cambridge Bay, and Poland
maintains a world-class scientific research base in Spitsbergen. New opportunities and
challenges are emerging across the Arctic, in part as a result of climate change and the pursuit
of resources. While this may well support social and economic development, it may also bring
new environmental threats, search and rescue incidents, civil emergencies and, potentially
even illegal activity*”.

If you’re thinking about purchasing a wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAV), you no doubt have plenty of questions running through your mind. Discover the answers to some of the most common questions about Motability WAV vehicles.
• What’s a WAV? A WAV is a vehicle that has been converted for a wheelchair user, meaning they can travel as the passenger or the driver with ease.
• Can’t I buy a standard car with adaptions? You could; there are options such as swivel seats and transfer plates available. However, you need to consider the comfort of the wheelchair user and what’s going to be best for them.
• What WAV should I buy? There are many options available when it comes to WAV vehicles. Consider all aspects carefully, from where the wheelchair user will sit, to how they will access the vehicle.
• What’s the Motability Scheme? This allows anyone to lease a vehicle if they have a minimum of 12 months remaining on one of these: Armed Forces Independence Payment, War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement, Enhanced Rate of the Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment, or the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance. Under this scheme, allowances are exchanged for Motability WAV vehicles.

Accessible only by private boat, Egmont Key has a unique natural and cultural history, including a lighthouse that has stood since 1858. During the 19th century, the island served as a camp for captured Seminoles at the end of the Third Seminole War and was later occupied by the Union Navy during the Civil War. In 1898, as the Spanish - American War threatened, Fort Dade was built on the island and remained active until 1923. After touring the historic sites and trails, visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing, wildlife viewing, and picnicking.
