Parkerhood is community. A public repair culture initiative that brings together repair makers, repair shops, and local communities. Our goal is to better understand the repair ecosystem in Thailand: who repairs what, where repair capacity exists, and how relationships form across neighborhoods.
We’re building this through a mix of hands-on fieldwork at Chula soi 5 (Collaborated with Participatory Citizen Lab Co.,ltd) , Ratchathewi district, and Surawong in Thailand, and Massachusetts in United States. Moreover, We curated a software prototype that helps document and visualize repair networks. In parallel, we created a “Right to Repair & Consumers’ Rights” book to help reintroduce the Right to Repair in Thai society as a practical path toward long-term sustainability.
This work is also part of a policy-making effort. We’re developing evidence, tools, and recommendations that can support future public policy submissions.

This book was a part of funding from Young policy makers, SYSI, AIDs Access, and Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
If you’re a repair shop, maker, community org, or policy collaborator, I’d love to connect.
I’d really appreciate your feedback. I’m developing the next version and would love your thoughts.
