Pattaya is hosting the 1st annual wheelchair sports jamboree at the Indoor Athletics Stadium in Jomtien. Considering that Pattaya has nary a wheelchair ramp to be seen, and with unnavigable sidewalks, invisible crosswalks, and no ADA-style business accommodations for the handicapped, it seems a poor place to invite the wheelchair-bound... but here they are.Unfortunately, with all the fanfare, it is sad to discover that only one sport will be played at this year's wheelchair sports invitational: Basketball. Said Mr. Po, of the Singaporean team, "This sucks. Only basketball? I spent all my time getting ready for pole vault."
