Bangkok skytrain and subway
facilities for the disabled

Subway stations are identified by a three-alphabet code e.g. Silom (SIL), skytrain stations by an alphanumeric code e.g. E4 Asoke. The more disabled-friendly stations are in bold. Please ask the station staff for assistance.


For a summary of the Bangkok skytrain and subway facilities for the disabled:

• The Bangkok subway has lifts for the disabled at all stations. These lifts give access from the road level to the ticketing level and train platforms below. But not all stations have these facilities on both sides of the road.


• The Bangkok skytrain only provides lifts for the disabled at seven stations, N8 Mor Chit, Siam, E4 Asoke, E9 On Nut, S3 Chong Nonsi, S7 Krung Thonburi and S8 Wong Wian Yai. This is partly due to space limitations. At these seven stations, there are lifts to give access from the road level up to the ticketing levels and the train platforms.
